To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of AI-capable data centres on long-term national water demand forecasts.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of AI-capable data centres on long-term national water demand forecasts.
A recent report by the Water Research Centre concluded that existing data centres in England account for just 0.2% of current non-household demand. As the sector grows, Defra is working across government and with the Environment Agency to better understand this expected growth and reduce its impact, including by supporting the rollout of smart meters to improve the evidence base on water us in the non-household market.
The Government expects data centre developers to work closely with water companies to secure sustainable supplies and explore alternative water sources, such as collected rainwater, where suitable.
Data centre proposals are considered through the planning system, and local planning authorities take account of relevant environmental impacts. Prospective AI Growth Zone sites must demonstrate sufficient access to water to support at least 500MW of AI infrastructure through written confirmation from the relevant water supplier.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of extending official fiscal forecast horizons beyond five years on long-term capital investment planning.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of extending official fiscal forecast horizons beyond five years on long-term capital investment planning.
The government updated the Charter for Budget Responsibility in 2024 to require that where capital investment, or other new policies, may have material impacts beyond the forecast horizon, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) should, where appropriate and subject to receiving sufficient information from the Treasury to do so, analyse and report on these at the relevant forecast. The OBR estimates that the combined supply-side effects of policy announced across the Parliament will raise the level of GDP by over 0.6% after 10 years.
The government has taken a long-term approach to capital investment in the 10 Year Infrastructure Strategy, published in 2025. The Strategy set out the UK government’s long-term plan to provide greater certainty for infrastructure investment to support growth, resilience and high-quality public services.

As set out in the answer of 14 July 2026 to Question 14926, departments have been asked to contribute 1p in every £1 of their capital budgets to fund this Government’s Defence Investment Plan.
Revisions to departmental capital budgets will be reported to Parliament through the usual estimates process.
The Local Government DEL budget does not include capital expenditure and therefore no Local Government CDEL allocation is held.

For information on the business rates forecast for both 2029-30 and 2030-31 for England only, I refer the Rt Hon. Member to the answer to question UIN 11414 on 29 June 2026.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the answer of 29 June 2026 to Question 11414, on Business Rates: Tax Yields, what is the reason for the 8 per cent in the department's estimated increase in business rate receipts from 2028-29 to 2029-30.
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the answer of 29 June 2026 to Question 11414, on Business Rates: Tax Yields, what is the reason for the 8 per cent in the department's estimated increase in business rate receipts from 2028-29 to 2029-30.
The increase in the department’s estimated business rate receipts from 2028-29 to 2029-30 in the answer to Question 11414 published on 29 June 2026 reflects a number of factors, including the impact of the next business rates revaluation expected in 2029-30, the ending of transitional relief associated with the 2026 revaluation, and the ending of Supporting Small Business Relief in 2028-29. The forecast also assumes continued growth in the business rates tax base and incorporates increases linked to forecast CPI inflation.
As is usual, any transitional relief support aligned to the 2029 revaluation will be considered and announced once the effects of the 2029 revaluation are known.

Business rates retained by local authorities are forecast to fall from 2028-29 to 2029-30 in table: 4.17 Local authority current expenditure in the answer to Question 11413 published on 29 June 2026 because a number of region wide enhanced business rates retention arrangements are assumed to end after 2028-29, as announced at Autumn Budget 2025. This includes arrangements for the Greater London Authority, the Liverpool City Region, Cornwall and the West of England which results in lower overall business rates retained by local authorities from 2029-30 onwards. The continuation of these arrangements will be subject to future policy decisions. Arrangements in Greater Manchester and the West Midlands are assumed to continue for the entire forecast period as these arrangements are on a longer-term footing.
Energy prices have fallen since summer 2023, but are still well above pre-'energy crisis' levels and there is little prospect of large cuts to bills in the near future.
