tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Coventry
uin	HL4366
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2015 answer text <br /><p>It is not possible to separate out the costs of military action in Iraq from that of wider counter-Daesh operations due to the inter-related nature of UK military activity. The net additional cost of UK counter-Daesh operations to date is approximately £150 million. This includes around £80 million for military operations between August 2014 - 31 March 2015 and a net additional cost to date in this financial year of around £70 million.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 15/12/2015 16:36:34 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
