The cost of UK military operations in Libya has cost £250 million so far, government sources say. Details are expected to be announced in a written ministerial statement on Thursday.
Last week, Treasury Chief Secretary Danny Alexander said it could run "into the hundreds of millions" of pounds.
The UK has been contributing to Nato's operation in Libya to enforce a no-fly zone since 19 March. The government had said it would cost tens of millions.
When military strikes against Col Muammar Gaddafi's forces began, Chancellor George Osborne estimated that the cost of British involvement would be "in the order of tens of millions of pounds, not hundreds of millions".-bbc
