The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Answer of 26 March 2026 to Question 122872, whether the Department is on track to deliver £52m of efficiencies from corporate initiatives in 2026-27.

Answered by Keir Mather

The Department is working to deliver the efficiencies from corporate initiatives in line with its Spending Review settlement. At this stage in the financial year it is too early to make a definitive assessment of delivery against the full‑year target. Delivery will be monitored over the course of the year as plans are implemented.
