PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(28 August 2026)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what Barnett consequentials will arise from the decision to cap single bus fares in England at £2; and when he expects these consequentials to be available to devolved governments.

Asked by:
Maureen Burke (Labour)

The Barnett formula applies when UK Government departmental DEL budgets formally change, not when new policy or funding is announced. Barnett consequentials associated with the £2 bus fares cap will therefore be confirmed in the usual way at Budget 2026.
