Appropriation (2024/25 Supplementary Estimates) Bill
This bill asks Parliament to approve updated spending for the current financial year, ending 30 June 2025. The government has already set a spending plan, but this bill adjusts it — increasing some budgets, cutting others, and closing off some spending programmes that are no longer needed. It also approves fresh injections of money into some government departments. This is a routine part of how the government keeps Parliament in control of public spending.
