There will be proceedings on the Supply and Appropriation (Main Estimates) Bill which is to be introduced following the Estimates days. A Business of the House Motion will also be tabled and all stages of the Taxation (Energy and Vehicles) Bill considered.

Parliament will debate and pass the Supply and Appropriation (Main Estimates) Bill, which authorises government spending for the financial year. This follows designated Estimates days when MPs scrutinise departmental spending plans. The bill is a routine but essential financial measure that formally approves the government's budget allocation across all departments and public services.

This is a constitutional requirement: Parliament must vote to authorise all public spending. Without passage of the Main Estimates Bill, the government cannot legally spend money from the Treasury. The bill formalises the spending priorities agreed during Estimates scrutiny and directly affects the funding available for every government service—from the NHS to defence to benefits. All taxpayers and users of public services are affected by the allocations it approves.
