	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2016 answer text <p>Through its commitment of Financial Aid to the Government of St Helena, DFID subsidises the costs of the service provided by the RMS St Helena. The subsidy is the difference between the actual costs of operating the service and the actual revenue generated. So it is not possible to calculate the subsidy in advance and without knowing, for example the levels of occupancy on each service and operating costs. For the period between April and July 2016 the RMS service returned a profit of £220,000 so no subsidy was required. The cost of subsidising the operations of the RMS St Helena in FY 2015/16 was £620,000.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 20/10/2016 16:50:41 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
