Synopsis: |
The fall in the cost of operations in Afghanistan is welcomed. However, given the possible increase in insurgent activity as NATO combat troops are withdrawn, the MoD should not be afraid to request additional resources for Afghanistan should the need present itself. The MoD should put forward any continuing costs of operations in Mali in the 2014-15 Main Estimate and include the funding split between the Deployed Military Activity Pool and the Conflict Prevention Pool in the associated Main Estimate memorandum. Costs of Mali operations should also come from the Treasury Special Reserve. The Treasury should not undermine the principle of the funding of operations from the Treasury Special Reserve rather than from the MoD's core budget. Annually Managed Expenditure is, by its nature, difficult to predict accurately. But it would be expected that, as experience increases and the pattern of voluntary outflow stabilises, the MoD would become better at estimating costs, income and liabilities. The House should be aware that the MoD is requesting net resources of some GBP38.7 billion and capital expenditure of some GBP9.8 billion in its Main Estimate and net resources for the Armed Forces Pension and Compensation Schemes of GBP5.7 billion for 2013-14. Within the total requested the MoD has asked for some GBP2.8 billion to cover the cost of operations, some 12 per cent less than 2012-13. Resource expenditure is also planned to fall in line with the Spending Review 2010. The Main Estimates for the MoD and the Armed Forces Pension and Compensation Scheme should be approved by Parliament |
