answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>The HM Forces Railcard is administered by military unit administration offices under a bilateral agreement between the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the Rail Delivery Group (RDG). The MOD purchases Railcards from RDG for £21 per railcard and then recovers the £21 cost from individual Service personnel who wish to purchase a railcard. The administrative cost incurred by MOD is minimal but could not be disaggregated from wider budgets.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 28/10/2019 17:20:21 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>The questions refer to two distinct financial years' supply estimates. Those estimates reflect the sum of activities planned by the Department for those years. The Department's main estimate covers the outcome of its annual financial planning activity which allocates its budget to the projects and activities Defence will deliver that year. Annual plans are based on long term planning and forecasting, particularly the ten year Equipment Plan.</p><p>Supplementary Estimates are a more mature position reflecting actual spend against these plans. Changes may reflect reprioritisation or updated plans as work progresses. These differences were not unexpected as the Ministry of Defence (MOD) adjusts budget profiles to reflect emerging requirements.
