The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changes to the Green Book rules on North West Leicestershire constituency.

Answered by Darren Jones

HM Treasury concluded a review of the Green Book in June 2025. It marks a new approach to appraisal in the public sector, one which will enable the more effective assessment of place-based interventions in every area of the country. That includes North West Leicestershire.

Following the review, HM Treasury will now undertake six actions to improve appraisal across the public sector. These are set out in the conclusions of the Green Book Review 2025, published on GOV.UK.
