Lower Thames Crossing: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether a new Accounting Officer Assessment for the Lower Thames Crossing will be published.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
An Accounting Officer Assessment summary was published in February 2026, setting out details of the decision to commit further public funding to the project and on the preferred funding model taken at the Autumn Budget 2025. The Lower Thames Crossing project remains on course to be delivered in line with that decision, and the Accounting Officer Assessment is expected to be refreshed at the Full Business Case stage.
