PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(29 August 2025)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department plans to provide longer-term capital funding settlements for Government departments to support the (a) maintenance and (b) renewal of public service facilities.

Asked by:
Sarah Hall (Labour)

The government has, for the first time, announced long-term maintenance budgets for the health, education, and justice estates as part of the 10 Year Infrastructure Strategy.

This protects departments’ maintenance budgets in real terms, delivering at least £10 billion per year by 2034-35 to maintain and repair health, education and justice infrastructure.

This is in addition to significant investment in rebuilding assets and delivering additional capacity where it is needed – such as almost £20 billion in the School Rebuilding Programme and up to £24 billion in the New Hospital Programme over the next 10 years.
