I am still not sure of the exact distribution:

The government has said £100m of money gathered from UK banks in Libor fines will go to military charities and the work of ambulance and police services.

I don’t think the full £100million announced during the Autumn Statement will be allocated to military charities alone (so my thread title is incorrect) but maybe a further £12million of it will?

I also read it that way Warren. Nice to see, and knowing those Banks don’t get away with murder every time.

That wasn’t how I read it:

A total of £35m has now been distributed to armed forces charities.

£35million already distributed with more to come?

It says 12 mil to military ones, the rest to others.
