| Between 17 March 2022 and 1 July 2023, the Ministry of Defence made payments of The Department will continue to use P&O Ferries where there are robust operational or technical reasons for doing so. Some routes are solely serviced by P&O Ferries and may offer the only option for our strategic movement requirements. | Between 17 March 2022 and 1 July 2023, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) made payments of £425,166 directly with P&O using ePC cards primarily for freight movements (this includes operational and freight movements by the National Movement Coordination Centre (Army)), and a further £164,000 was spent through GBT, the MOD’s contracted travel management company, primarily for business travel. |
