Further update on the spending review

Yesterday, the Chancellor outlined the government's Spending Review, which delivers on the priorities of the British people – providing funding for new hospitals, better schools and safer streets while protecting lives and livelihoods across the whole of our Union.

  • While our health emergency is not yet over, the economic emergency has only just begun.
     
  • So, yesterday’s Spending Review delivers on the priorities of the British people:

    • The immediate priority must be to protect people’s lives and livelihoods as we respond to coronavirus.
       
    • But the government will also deliver stronger public services – more hospitals, better schools and safer streets.
       
    • And deliver a once-in-a-generation investment in infrastructure – creating jobs, growing the economy, and increasing pride in the places people call home.
       
  • This is a shared project – a common endeavour to build a better nation to which every person and business in our country has a contribution to make. That unfinished work – irrespective of coronavirus – continues at pace as we emerge stronger and more united from this pandemic.
     
  • Although this year has taken a very different path to the one we expected, Conservatives have not lost sight of our ambitious plans to level up and create jobs across the country.
