Opposition Policy Costings 2024
The government's costing of opposition policies.

Details
This page shows the government’s costing of opposition policies. Successive administrations have accepted that since departments provide factual answers to MPs and peers about the costs of identifiable changes in activities or benefits, there is no objection to officials providing ministers with similarly factual information about clearly identified opposition policies.
Where another department produces this costing it is cleared with officials at the Treasury and signed off by the Permanent Secretary in line with official guidance around their production and clearance.
