Asked by Ayoub KhanIndependentDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 6 July 2026UIN 14738

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which capital projects have been (i) cancelled, (ii) delayed, (iii) descoped and (iv) reprofiled to fund the Defence Investment Plan by (a) region, (b) original funding allocation and (c) revised funding allocation.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department for Transport is contributing to the reprioritisation of funding to support the Defence Investment Plan.

No final decisions have been taken and therefore, no projects have been formally cancelled, delayed, descoped or reprofiled at this stage and there are no revised regional allocations.
