We are committed to raising defence spending to 2.5% of GDP from April 2027. This investment boosts economic growth across the UK, creating jobs, enhancing skills, and providing opportunities.

We are bringing forward £3.25bn of investment to deliver the reforms that our public services need through a new Transformation Fund. That is money being brought forward to bring down the admin costs of running government and make public services more efficient and productive.

The world is changing. That's why we are confirming a further £2.2bn defence spending uplift for 2025/2026. Investing in advanced weaponry for our troops as well as providing better homes for military families.

The world is changing and the UK must adapt. That is why we have announced a £2bn increase to UK Export Finance's lending capacity, boosting growth and securing jobs for the defence sector, while unlocking opportunities for UK exporters to expand sales and increase their competitiveness.

We're announcing a further £2bn for social and affordable housing in 2026-27, helping to deliver our goal of 1.5m homes by the end of this Parliament. By taking on the blockers to get Britain building, we'll kickstart growth and put more money in people's pockets.

We are going further and faster to deliver growth. That's why we’ve launched plans to train up to 60,000 more construction workers by 2029, tackling skills shortages and paving the way to deliver 1.5 million homes by the end of this Parliament.

We are making it simpler for families to pay their High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC). From Summer 2025, employed parents will have the option to pay their HICBC through PAYE, removing the need to register for Self Assessment.

Our mission is to make Britain a clean energy superpower. That's why we are removing Climate Change Levy costs from the electrolysis process to create low carbon hydrogen. This will help to decarbonise power, industry and transport nationwide, and help to grow our economy.
