Spending Review

Put that the Deputy Prime Minister seemed to be trying to calm people down this morning by saying that the cuts amounted to 6% each year over the next four years, the Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) said that the Deputy Prime Minister had been setting out the position; these were significant cuts by any standard and the reason they were necessary was because of the mess the public finances were in. It was true that the spending review would be setting out plans for public spending for the next four years, and we would deliver those reductions in spending over those four years.

Asked if there was a change in the political message from saying there would be savage cuts to cuts not really being that bad, the PMS said that there was no change in the message; people should be under no illusion that this would be incredibly challenging. This was not something that would happen over night, it would have to happen over the next four years.
