Supplementary Estimates 2019-20

The Government published its revised spending plans for 2019-20 on 12 February 2020, in the Supplementary Estimates 2019-20.
 
Following the December 2019 General Election, the necessary committees were not in place to enable topics for Estimates day debates to be chosen.  Accordingly, no debates were held on this occasion.  The next Estimates day debates, relating to 2020-21 Main Estimates, are expected to be held in July 2020.

The House considered the Estimates motions, and passed revised spending limits into law through the Supply and Appropriation (Anticipations and adjustments) Act 2020.

Summary of plans

This briefing paper, prepared jointly by the House of Commons Library and the House of Commons Scrutiny Unit, gives more detail of the Government's revised spending plans, including details for each department.

Scrutiny Unit data visualisations

The House of Commons Scrutiny Unit has produced data visualisations of the 2019-20 revisions to the spending plans contained in the Supplementary Estimates for each major Government department.  The visualisations show spending trends, changes to budgets since earlier in the year, and how spending plans break down within the totals.
