As detailed at Budget 2025, DCMS has £0.7bn of Capital DEL in each year of the Spending Review. The Department is currently completing its Business Planning process, which will allocate the funding to specific programmes. As such, we cannot yet confirm programme by programme allocations or what remains unallocated in each year.
