The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 24 March 2025 to Question 39042 on Helicopters: Finance, if he will make an estimate of the budget across front line commands for (a) 2024-25 and (b) 2025-26.

Answered by Maria Eagle

Departmental spending priorities will be subject to the outcome of the Strategic Defence Review and therefore it is not practical to provide an estimate at this stage.
