MoD estimated that the cost of operations in Iraq in 2006–07 would be £860 million. The estimated cost has now risen to £1,002 million.
MoD estimated that the cost of operations in Afghanistan in 2006–07 would be £540 million. The estimated cost has now risen to £770 million.
Total = £372 million more, just best guess as yet. This number has only one way to go. (I bet it doesn’t include the replacement for a C130J)
C Of E gives MOD £400 million.
We have spent it already, thanks anyway.
