Public sector finances, UK: May 2025

Darren Jones, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, said: 

“Since taking office, we have taken the right decisions to protect working people, begin repairing the NHS, and fix the foundations to rebuild Britain. We stabilised the economy and the public finances; now we need to ensure that the British economy delivers for working people.

“Last week's Spending Review showed how we are investing in the UK's security, health, and the economy through our Plan for Change, so that people are better off.”
