To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the data breach relating to the Afghan relocations and assistance policy on military spending.
Luke Pollard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence
There has been no direct impact on military spending. Additional ringfenced funding was identified, initially from the Reserve and then funded as part of the Spending Review plans we set out in June.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
