Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on what date HM Treasury agreed the use of £54 million of Department for Energy Security and Net Zero underspends to fund the reduction in bus fares announced on 22 July 2026.

The department has set out a full plan for how it will meet savings associated with the Bus Fares cap and Defence Investment Plan – that includes a combination of cuts to some programmes and underspends.
