    Rachel Reeves is setting out her spending review in the House of Commons.  

    It outlines how much funding individual government departments will receive over the next three years and state infrastructure investment for the next four years.

    The last spending review took place during the COVID-19 pandemic, and before that, in 2015.

    Here’s what’s been announced so far – please refresh this page for updates.

    Defence

    A major recipient of funds is the Ministry of Defence. Defence spending will rise from 2.3% of gross domestic product (GDP) to 2.6% by 2027. An £11bn uplift and a £600 million uplift for security and intelligence agencies.

    Within that there’ll be £4.5bn of investment in munitions made in Glasgow and more than £6bn to upgrade to nuclear submarine production.

    Border security

    The chancellor goes onto border security, where she says funding will increase with up to £280m more per year by the end of the spending review for the new Border Security Command.

    She said the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper will end the costly use of hotels to house asylum seekers by 2029.

    The chancellor says funding she has announced today, including from the transformation fund, will also cut the asylum backlog, see more appeal cases heard and “return people who have no right to be here”.

    This will save the taxpayer £1bn a year, she says.

    Energy

    The biggest nuclear building programme for half a century has been announced with £14.2bn being poured into the Sizewell C nuclear power station on the Suffolk coastline.

    A total of £14bn will go to the Sizewell C nuclear power plant. Another £2.5bn will be invested in a new small modular reactor programme.

    A commitment to nuclear was reiterated, with £30bn allocated.

    Science and technology

    Moving on from energy and infrastructure, the chancellor says she wants the country’s high tech industries in Britain to continue to lead the world in the years to come.

    Research and development funding will go to a record high of £22bn a year by the end of the spending period.

    The government’s artificial intelligence action plan will receive £2bn.

    Housing

    Government funding of social and affordable housing has been allocated £39bn.
