The figures were released after mounting pressure from Labour MPs and are embarrassing for Chancellor George Osborne, who had claimed the bill would only be “tens of millions of pounds”. But experts immediately cast doubt on the Ministry of Defence’s latest sums, claiming the actual cost could be far higher.
