Cost of Libya operations
The net additional cost of Operation ELLAMY - costs incurred by the Department on operations which would not otherwise be incurred - is estimated at £212m, Defence Secretary Philip Hammond announced yesterday.
In a Written Ministerial Statement to Parliament, Mr Hammond said: "I have previously informed the House that I would provide a final estimate of the cost of operations in Libya in early December. We estimate that the net additional cost of Operation ELLAMY will be £212 million."
