Notes: 
 
1. 
This disclosure sets out the business expenses for all 4 Star and 3 Star officers (Vice Admiral, Lieutenant General , Air Marshal and 
above) serving in the relevant period, with the following exceptions:  We have excluded the expenses of  Air Chief Marshal Sir 
Christopher Moran following his untimely death earlier this year, and it has not been possible to collate the expenses for Lieutenant 
General Sir Nick Parker and Lieutenant General (Retired) C Brown in the time available.   
 
2. 
For those officers in NATO appointments only costs attributed to UK Budgets are listed. 
 
3. 
The use of an official car can contain a tax liability for the department.  These figures have not yet been calculated for the period in 
question and are not included in the figures for this return. 
 
4. 
The Freedom of Information Act presumes that information should be disclosed.  Nevertheless, it recognises that disclosure is not 
always appropriate and identifies 23 categories of exemption.  In accordance with section 27 of the Act (International Relations) we are 
withholding the destination and purpose of visits in respect of Air Marshal Nickols.
