This all stemmed from an article on defense cuts in the Daily Mirror, where it was mentioned along with all the other things they could possibly cut.
There is no way any government (left or right) in their right mind would pull funding from the BOBMF. There would be public outrage and the saving involved would be 3 million, which in the scheme of defense spending is nothing.
I'll stick my neck out and say that this will not happen.
I imagine it's been made public for no other reason than to ensure it's survival.
