Public Expenditure
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of trends in the level of public expenditure as a share of national output.
Answered by James Murray
The government's fiscal strategy is putting the public finances on a sustainable path while prioritising investment to protect the NHS and support long-term growth. We are relentlessly cutting waste, improving efficiency to make sure every penny of taxpayers' money is spent wisely, and reforming public services to make sure they are sustainable.
