Contradiction in the UKs weather service?


Hello

According to wikipedia, the Met Office is run by the government for the public, and for the military.
However the met office siad in my e-mail to them, that they have to actually pay for thier own weather forecasting data to show the public.
They siad that they get a limited budget to pay for what they do with all thier weather data from the government,

However, the BBC (British broadcasting co-operation) say that they pay the met office for the data and not the government.

What does this mean?

Who really pays for what?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Met_Office
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/bbcweather/...
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/corporate/hi...

I am so confused by this

CREED

The meteorological service is part of the ministry of defence, and funded as such, however organisations such as the bbc have to pay for the information provided by the service.
Wikipedia is opinion not fact.
Hope this helps.
