The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 24 March 2025 to Question 38988 on Transport: Infrastructure, whether the Capital Review has been completed.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Capital Review has now closed. It was established to provide rapid, independent advice on the Department’s capital portfolio. The Panel offered an external perspective to support the Secretary of State’s considerations during the second phase of the Spending Review.

The Secretary of State closed the Panel ahead of the conclusion of the Spending Review. The Department is grateful for the voluntary contributions of its members and the expertise they brought to the review.
