Transport: Finance
Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Monday 27th October 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what his planned timetable is for informing local transport authorities of their Local Transport Grant allocation. Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury The Local Transport Grant (LTG) is a £2.3bn grant for local transport enhancements and maintenance, comprising both capital and resource funding from 2026/27 onwards. The grant is allocated to local transport authorities in England outside of London and areas that receive City Region Sustainable Transport Settlements (CRSTS) or Transport for City Regions (TCR) funding.
In June, individual local transport authority allocations for the £2.2bn of LTG capital funding were published on gov.uk, covering the years 2026/27 to 2029/30. In September, allocations for the remaining £104m of LTG resource funding were published, covering the years 2026/27 to 2028/29.
Further transport funding allocations for local transport authorities from 2026/27 onwards, including for highways maintenance, buses and active travel, will be announced in due course. |

Business Rates: CCTV
Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Tuesday 28th October 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment she has made of the potential impact of including CCTV systems as rateable items on businesses. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) CCTV systems fall within the relevant business rates legislation relating to plant and machinery, and as such are rateable. The presence of small systems may be reflected in the overall value of the building, although more specialist systems may be separately valued as an individual plant and machinery item.
The Valuation Office Agency does not routinely record the proportion of a property's assessment that is attributable to a CCTV system. Therefore, it is not possible to determine how much is levied each year in business rates in respect of CCTV systems. |

Agriculture: Innovation
Asked by: Caroline Voaden (Liberal Democrat - South Devon) Wednesday 29th October 2025 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to help support innovation in the agricultural sector. Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The Farming Innovation Programme is supporting research and innovation in the agricultural sector to help English farmers and growers increase productivity, sustainability and resilience.
The UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy, published on 23 June, recognises Agri-Tech as a key growth sector and at least £200 million is allocated to the Farming Innovation Programme up to 2030. This will offer targeted funding to drive innovation in agriculture, supporting critical investment into the UK Agri-Tech innovation pipeline helping further the commercialisation of Agri-Tech. |
