Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the annual cost of maintaining the Royal Marines based in the Falkland Islands; what other personnel for which he has departmental responsibility are stationed in the Falklands and Dependencies, in the British Antarctic Territory or elsewhere in the South Atlantic; and at what cost.

The annual cost of maintaining the Royal Marines garrison in the Falkland Islands is currently estimated at around £600,000. There are also two RAF chief technicians on loan to the Falkland Islands Government, who meet their costs.
