Chief Secretary responds to March's public sector finance statistics

Public sector finances, UK: March 2025

Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Darren Jones said:

“Economic stability is crucial within a changing world. We will never play fast and loose with the public finances, that's why our fiscal rules are non-negotiable and why we are going through every penny of taxpayer money spent, line by line, for the first time in 17 years to tear out waste.

"We are laser-focused on making sure taxpayer money is delivering our Plan for Change missions to put more money in people's pockets, rebuild the NHS and strengthen our borders."
