Chief Secretary to the Treasury's response to November Public Sector Finance statistics

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Darren Jones said:

“When we were elected, we inherited crumbling public services and crippled public finances, with a £22 billion black hole.

“This government will never play fast and loose with the public finances. Now we have wiped the slate clean, we are focused on investment and reform to deliver growth, delivering the Plan for Change, to put more money in people's pockets, get the NHS back on its feet, rebuild Britain and secure our borders in a decade of national renewal."
