Cost of Afghan data breach scheme unknown to Government – watchdog

The NAO said the MoD had not given it confidence in the accuracy of its estimates (PA) - (PA Wire)

The Government is unable to calculate the total cost of a secret relocation plan it set up following the Afghan data leak, Britain’s public spending watchdog has said.

In Ministry of Defence (MoD) accounts, the amount spent on the scheme was not recorded separately to other resettlement activity following the fall of Kabul to the Taliban in 2021, the National Audit Office (NAO) said.
