Government departments face further cuts 8 June 2015
The government is committed to clearing the UK deficit by 2018-19 without increasing income tax or VAT and the Chancellor has revealed his plans for cuts to government departments including £80m from HMRC.
The Department for Work and Pensions also faces cuts of £105m.
TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady commented on the announcement saying:
“This is the wrong plan. We need an investment-led approach to deliver the strong recovery needed for wage rises, productivity gains and higher living standards. But the Chancellor’s plan for fast and extreme cuts will hold back growth, and it will slash the tax credits and vital services that workers and their families rely on.”
BBC News published a full list of the departmental cuts announced by the Chancellor, George Osborne:
Education non-schools - £450m Health non-NHS - £200m Transport inc. King's Cross property - £545m Communities - £230m Business, Innovation and Skills - £450m Home Office £30m Justice - £249m Defence - £500m Foreign and Commonwealth Office - £20m Energy and Climate Change - £70m Environment, Food and Rural Affairs - £83m Culture, Media and Sport - £30m Work and Pensions - £105m HM Revenue and Customs - £80m HM Treasury - £7m Cabinet Office - £17m
