Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the policy papers entitled Spending Review 2025, published on 30 June 2025, and Budget 2025, published on 28 November 2025, what their Department’s capital Departmental Expenditure Limit (DEL) will be in each year of the Spending Review period; how much capital funding has been allocated to each of their Department’s programmes; and how much and what proportion of the capital DEL allocation remains unallocated in each year.
The Spending Review 2025 established allocations of Capital Departmental Expenditure Limits (DEL) up to financial year 2029-30. A profile of these agreed allocations is enclosed in the table below, reflecting the measures announced at Autumn Budget 2025:
£ billion (current prices) | Plans 2025-26 | Plans 2026-27 | Plans 2027-28 | Plans 2028-29 | Plans 2029-30 |
Capital DEL Expenditure | 21.6 | 23.0 | 24.8 | 22.7 | 24.4 |
Capital funding allocations in future years and how they are allocated (this includes any unallocated funds) are subject to departmental business planning processes. Furthermore, the department will provide more detail on future spending plans at the appropriate Supply Estimate.
