HC Deb 11 January 1988 vol 125 c69W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what proportion of the 1987–88 defence budget is devoted to non-military defence spending.

Mr. Ian Stewart

I refer the hon. Member to the Supply Estimates 1987–88, class 1, Ministry of Defence, and to the "Statement on the Defence Estimates 1987", for details of defence spending. Non-military defence spending is not a concept that can be readily defined.
