Supply and Appropriation (Main Estimates) Act 2016

Summary

This Act is the government's annual permission slip to spend money on running the country. It sets out how much money each government department (like health, education, and transport) can spend during 2016, and Parliament votes to approve these spending plans.

A vote to support means

  • Supporting this Act means approving the government's spending plans for 2016. It allows public services like the NHS, schools, and defence to receive the money they need to operate and provide services to the public.

A vote to oppose means

  • People might worry about how the money is being spent – for example, whether certain departments get too much funding while others get too little. Some might question whether the government is spending money wisely on priorities that matter to them.
