Appropriation (2023/24 Supplementary Estimates) Bill
This bill gives Parliament's formal sign-off on updated government spending for the financial year ending 30 June 2024. During the year, the government spent money under temporary permission (called imprest supply). This bill makes that spending official and adjusts the original spending plan — increasing some budgets, reducing others, and cancelling some spending programmes that are no longer needed. It covers nearly every area of government, from health and housing to transport and education.
