Spending review: More cash for schools, NHS and defence expected as chancellor unveils plans
- Chancellor Rachel Reeves unveiled the Spending Review on June 11, detailing £600 billion in planned government spending over the next few years.
- The Spending Review follows the October 2023 cancellation of the HS2 northern leg, prompting Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham to seek new transport commitments.
- Burnham called for a £300 million investment in a new Manchester to Liverpool railway linking with the Midlands, as well as support for projects like Atom Valley and the 15,000-home Victoria North.
- The government plans to reduce 12,000 London-based civil service jobs by 2030, relocate 7,000 staff to new hubs including one in Manchester, and invest £4.5 billion annually in education.
- The Spending Review aims to boost growth, health, and security, but some departments could face cuts as the government balances manifesto promises with fiscal rules.
