Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sarah Pochin and Matthew Pennycook

Monday 24th November 2025 Commons Chamber

[Sarah Pochin (Runcorn and Helsby) (Reform)]

T10.   Will the Minister confirm what oversight the Department has of the central Government grant given to Halton borough council and Merseyflow for the two bridges in Runcorn, bearing in mind that a substantial proportion has gone unspent in recent years? What steps are being taken to ensure that any unspent funds are used transparently?

[Matthew Pennycook]

I am afraid that the hon. Lady will have to write to me and outline which fund precisely she is talking about. I am more than happy to get back to her if she does that.
