Table 1.8 External Income Earned by MOD
This table provides a breakdown of the revenue earned by MOD split by Request for Resources (RFR) category and income source. Where the Department has spare capacity, it provides a range of services to external organisations. The majority of these services are in the form of military support to foreign governments and other government departments. Where appropriate, costs are recovered in accordance with Managing Public Money guidance set out by HM Treasury. On a smaller scale, the Department provides services to support charities, local community initiatives as well as commercial companies where there is a defence interest.

Further information about the quality of data and methods used in the production of these statistics, along with details of their intended use can be found in the Background Quality Report - Departmental Resources Statistics.
