HL Deb 24 July 1991 vol 531 c60WA
Lord Elton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the basis on which the Ministry of Defence calculates the charges it makes to (a) the Overseas Development Administration, and (b) Other bodies, for (i) vehicles, machinery and equipment, and (ii) service personnel employed in disaster relief overseas.

The Earl of Arran

The Ministry of Defence only provides assistance to disaster relief operations at the request of the ODA/FCO. Only the extra costs are recovered to Defence Votes.
