Department for Science, Innovation and Technology: Departmental Expenditure Limits
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, with reference to the policy papers entitled Spending Review 2025, published on 30 June 2025, and Budget 2025, published on 28 November 2025, what their Department’s capital Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) will be in each year of the Spending Review period; how much capital funding has been allocated to each of their Department’s programmes; and how much and what proportion of the capital DEL allocation remains unallocated in each year.
Answered by Ian Murray
The Department’s capital Departmental Expenditure Limits (DEL) for 2026-27 to 2029-30 have not changed materially since they were published on the gov.uk following Spending Review 2025. Please find those documents and DELs: Spending Review 2025 document - GOV.UK
DSIT has recently published how it is allocating the majority of its R&D budget over this period. Here is the link to this: DSIT Research and Development (R&D) plans to 2029/2030 - GOV.UK. We intend to publish a further breakdown of our R&D spend later this financial year. Allocations for the non-R&D elements of DSIT’s CDEL budget are still being determined.
