The UK Government has so far resisted all attempts to admit exactly how much it has spent on the war in Iraq. But we do know that £3.8 billion was initially set aside for the war cost.
The UK Government has made an awful lot of publicity about the fact that it's the largest single country donor to relief funds for the South Asia tsunami -- although less of the fact that is was embarassed into upping its donation to £50 million after its initial paltry £15 million had been exceeded by public donations.
Total spent on the war by .gov.uk: £ 3,800,000,000
Total spent on humanitarian aid: £ 50,000,000
