PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Afghanistan: Peacekeeping Operations (18 January 2023)

£10 million was spent on Operation NORTHMOOR, which was the Royal Military Police's investigation into 675 allegations from Afghanistan (these allegations ranged from non-criminal allegations (of cultural insensitivity), to assault and ill-treatment, to unlawful killings during arrest operations).

Unlike Operation NORTHMOOR, Operation CESTRO was not budgeted separately from other Special Investigation Branch (SIB) Regiment RMP investigations. It is not therefore possible to extract costs data specific to that operation.
