3 Conclusion
15. The House should be aware that
the MoD is requesting net resources of some £39.9 billion
and capital expenditure of some £7.5 billion in its Main
Estimate and net resources for the Armed Forces Pension and Compensation
Schemes of £6.7 billion for 2014-15. Within the total requested
the MoD has asked for some £0.8 billion to cover the cost
of operations, some £1.5 billion less than in 2014-15reflecting
the drawdown of troops. Resource expenditure is also in line with
the agreed Spending Review 2010. We recommend that the Main Estimates
for the MoD and the Armed Forces Pension and Compensation Scheme
are approved by Parliament.
