HC Deb 10 March 2003 vol 401 c58W
Mr. Flight

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the cost has been of British operations in Afghanistan in each month since operations began. [101281]

Mr. Ingram

The monthly totals for 2001–02 are as follows.

£million
Month
September 13.677
October 12.016
November 25.942
December 27.775
January 25.335
February 24.358
March 92.285
Total 221.388

I regret that since 2002–03 figures have not been audited, it might be misleading for me to provide that information on a monthly basis until the NAO audit has been completed. The forecast annual cost is £376 million.
