The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what amount of his 2024-25 departmental budget was underspent on 24 May 2024.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The Department reports in year spend to Ministers and the Permanent Secretary through the monthly reporting cycle. As and when underspends or pressures emerge, the Department works with HM Treasury to take appropriate action.

The Department’s audited accounts for Financial Year 2024-25 will be published at the appropriate time once the Financial Year has concluded.
