Guided Weapons: Procurement

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent on integrated air and missile defence in each financial year since 2010.

Answered by Maria Eagle

Integrated Air and Missile Defence (IAMD) is cross-government, multi-layered approach, utilising a wide range of advanced capabilities alongside our Allies as an international effort. There has been wide-ranging investment across the full range of IAMD capabilities since 2010, including the Sky Sabre air defence system. However, with this multi-layered, international approach, detailed investment costings for all IAMD capabilities over a fourteen year period are not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
