(b) maintaining the military presence in the Falklands in each year since the end of the Falklands War. [57856]

Notes: 1. All figures £ million in-year cash. 2. Garrison capital costs between 1983-88 include the construction costs of Mount
Pleasant Airfield. 3. Garrison costs after 1990-91 omit a number of elements, e.g. freight, food and spares, which were previously
included in the Garrison costs but which are no longer attributed to the Commander British Forces Falkland Islands' Budget, and
could only be provided at disproportionate cost. Figures from 1991-92 onwards include pay, which was not included in the figures
compiled previously, and again pay for the period could only be provided at disproportionate cost. 4. The figures given do not
include residual costs of the Falklands Campaign. 5. Garrison costs from 1991-92 include the costs of the Commander British Forces
Falkland Islands' budget only. These do not include the costs of the RAF airbridge to the Falkland Islands, nor the cost of naval
deployments to the South Atlantic. These figures fall to other budgets and cannot be identified separately. It is not known whether
these costs were included in figures before 1991-92.

Mr. Corbyn: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he has made of the current and planned levels of expenditure on
NATO commitments over the planning period; and if he will make a statement. [51890]
Mr. Doug Henderson: [holding answer 24 July 1998]:
The estimated costs of UK forces declared to NATO, and associated support costs, is some £13 billion in the current financial year.
We expect the level of expenditure in the coming years to be broadly constant. These forces contribute to a number of missions,
under NATO, non-NATO, or national command, in support of the Government's security and defence policy. The UK's annual net
contribution to NATO's common budgets, at current exchange rates, and other command and HQ costs, are currently some £220 million.
The costs of the UK contribution to NATO operations in the Balkans for 1997-98 are still being collated.
The Strategic Defence Review stated that NATO will continue as the cornerstone of our defence planning, and that we intend to build
on our role as a leading European member of the Alliance.
