The Chancellor will tomorrow publish the Government's Spending
Review to ‘invest in Britain's renewal' as she vows to make all
parts of the country better off.
Reeves will announce plans for billions of pounds of investment
in projects across the United Kingdom that will create jobs,
prosperity, and put more money in people's pockets.
The Chancellor will say detailed spending plans come after the
Autumn Budget and Spring Statement fixed the foundations of our
economy to deliver stability, outlining: “The choices in this
Spending Review are possible only because of the stability I have
introduced and the choices I took in the Autumn.”
The Chancellor will confirm the Government's commitment to
delivering for every part of Britain, by announcing reforms that
will guarantee towns and cities outside London and the South East
can benefit from new investment. This will include the biggest
ever local transport infrastructure investment in England's city
regions, which will truly connect people to opportunities that
improve their quality of life, a key objective of the
Government's Plan for Change.
Reeves is also expected to spell out the Government's plans to
invest in the British people's priorities of security, health and
economy.
The Spending Review comes on the back of the Government's
announcements in recent days to invest £15.6 billion in local
transport projects, £86 billion to boost science and technology,
and create ten thousand jobs by building Sizewell C Nuclear
Power Station - which will drive forward Britain's status as a
clean energy superpower, as outlined in the Plan for
Change.
Speaking in the House of Commons, the Chancellor is
expected to say:
“This Government is renewing Britain. But I know too many people
in too many parts of the country are yet to feel it.
“This Government's task – my task – and the purpose of this
Spending Review – is to change that. To ensure that renewal is
felt in people's everyday lives, their jobs, their
communities.
“So that people can see a doctor when when they need one. Know
that they are secure at work. And feel safe on their local high
street.
“The priorities in this Spending Review are the priorities of
working people. To invest in our country's security, health and
economy so working people all over our country are better off.
“That is what this Spending Review will deliver.”
She will add:
“I have made my choices. In place of chaos, I choose stability.
In place of decline, I choose investment. In place of retreat, I
choose national renewal.
“These are my choices. These are this Government's choices. These
are the British people's choices.”
