The payout came two years after the families launched a legal action.

Earlier reports that all cases had been settled have since been denied, with one law firm saying it still has claims outstanding, which the MoD confirmed.

In most cases several family members are making a claim, and in some families not all relatives have settled with the MoD. Cases relating to three servicemen have yet to be concluded.

The amount paid out so far was said be in the region of £15m, according to the Mail on Sunday newspaper.

An MoD spokesman said it passed on its “sincere condolences” to the families of those killed in the 2006 incident, and said compensation had been paid to help “ensure their future financial security”.
