Transport: East Midlands

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with the Treasury on aligning transport funding in the East Midlands with other areas in England.

Answered by Department for Transport

All local transport authorities – including those in the East Midlands – have been provided with multi-year consolidated local transport funding settlements over the current Spending Review Period (2026/27 to 2028/29 for resource funding and 2029/30 for capital funding). This funding is largely allocated by formula to provide suitable funding to all areas.

Local transport funding allocations beyond this time period will be considered as part of work led by HM Treasury at a future Spending Review.
