The UK seeks repayments from partner nations for their use of the MOD’s life support facilities in theatre such as catering and medical facilities. The UK in turn pays for any services provided to them. Beyond that, no representations have been made to the US Administration for the repayment of costs incurred as a consequence of the UK’s contribution to the current military operations in Iraq.
