HC Deb 23 June 2004 vol 422 c1445W
Mr. Boris Johnson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he has made of the cost of the 60th anniversary D-Day events and commemorations. [179179]

Mr. Caplin

Detailed estimates covering all Ministry of Defence elements of expenditure are not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

For some there will have been training or other defence benefit from their participation and so costs will not have been separately identified. However, I can advise that the additional costs arising from support provided by 102 Logistics Brigade was estimated at £190,000.
