Clarify impact of Treasury's capital expenditure changes on future DLUHC projects
Conclusion
According to the Financial Times, concerns about the DLUHC’s ability to deliver ‘value for money’ have been raised by the Treasury. Despite DLUHC’s efforts to reassure us, the Treasury’s decision to remove DLUHC’s ability to sign off on capital expenditure is a significant concern. The DHLUC needs to make clear what impact this will have on the delivery of future DLUHC funded projects and in particular future funding under the levelling up policy.
