Proteus has a good point. I remember reading somewhere that if UK PLC bought entirely british from an entirely british company something like 60% of the apparent outlay ended up straight back in the treasury coffers through corporation tax, income tax (+NI), VAT, vehicle tax, fuel duty etc etc etc.

So the sums aren't always straightforward on a governmental scale, although it's all the same amount of cash out of the defence budget!
