Government Departments: Public Expenditure
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has issued guidance to Cabinet colleagues on making spending commitments over more than a 10 year period.
Answered by James Murray
Spending Review 2025 set department budgets until 2028-29, with an additional year for capital investment.
Alongside the Spending Review, HM Treasury also published a 10-Year Infrastructure Strategy, with 10-year settlements for school rebuilding, Affordable Homes, flood defenses and maintenance budgets for schools, prison, hospitals and other public assets.
