Spending Review 2021 is currently ongoing and is due to be published on the 27<sup>th</sup>
October. This will include allocation of spending up to 2024/25.</p><p>At Spending
Reviews, departments follow Green Book guidance to both understand the wider strategic
context of their policies, including their contribution to Net Zero, and assess all
costs and benefits of their bids, including climate and environmental impacts. At
the Treasury we consider these impacts when we assess the value for money of different
spending programmes and the benefits they would deliver.</p><p>At Spending Review
2020, we required departments to improve the information they provided about the impact
on greenhouse gas emissions from their spending bids. We have written out to departments
with our expectations to improve data collection on emissions for Spending Review
2021.</p>
