Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the cost to the public purse was of (a) policies and (b) other work started by the previous Administration between 2016 and 2019 which were cancelled by the Government when it was formed in December 2019.

The Government is delivering the Manifesto on which it was elected in December 2019.

This set out the costs of the government’s policy agenda, including the implementation of the 2019 Spending Round.

Subsequently, the government published Spring Budget 2020 and its Plan For Jobs which set out the costs of subsequent policy announcements.

We will set out plans for future years at a Budget and Spending Review in the Autumn.
