Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether funding has been directed from other departments' budgets to the budget of the Department for Education, as she outlined on the 1st December 2025.

The usual practice to transfer budgets between government departments is via budget cover transfers (BCTs), which occur twice a financial year through the Estimates process. The most recent Estimates Memo for the department is available here: https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/52047/documents/288898/default/.
