Department for Transport: Cost Effectiveness

Asked by Jerome MayhewConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 22 January 2026UIN 104848

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what proportion of the £663 million per year efficiency saving projected for 2028–29 has already been delivered; and what proportion remains uncontracted, unimplemented or subject to future business cases.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Departmental Efficiency Plans set out the efficiencies that will be delivered by the Department for Transport over the period 2026/27 – 2028/29. These efficiencies are measured against 2025/26 planned day-to-day budgets (i.e. this financial year) and will therefore be delivered in future years.
