Britain’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) spends twice as much on its estate as it does on the UK’s nuclear deterrent, a parliamentary committee revealed in its latest report, in which it slammed the ministry’s “disastrous lack of estate strategy.”
In 2019–20, the MoD spent £4.6 billion ($6.3 billion) on the UK’s “defence estate,” around twice the annual cost of maintaining the country’s nuclear deterrent, according to a report published on Tuesday by the Public Accounts Committee of the House of Commons.
