Mr. Harper

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which operations outside Iraq and Afghanistan are included in the expenditure within subhead Request for Resources 2-C. (105961)

There are no other operations included in the expenditure within subhead Request for Resources 2-C.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what his Department’s estimate is for Direct Resource Expenditure in Request for Resources 2 in Iraq and Afghanistan for 2006-07 calculated on the same basis as table 1 of the memorandum sent to the Defence Select Committee on 6 March 2006; (105962)

(2) what his Department’s estimate is for Capital Expenditure in Request for Resources 2 in Iraq and Afghanistan for 2006-07 calculated on the same basis as table 2 of the memorandum sent to the Defence Select Committee on 6 March 2006.

The increase in Direct Resource and Capital expenditure in Request for Resources 2 in Iraq and Afghanistan is set out in the tables. These follow the same format as that contained in the Estimates Memorandum sent to the Defence Select Committee on 6 March 2006.

There is no separate contingency identified in our winter supplementary claim.
