Brexit: the Chancellor announces a one-year spending review

Feb 16,2020 5:09 am

Chancellor , Sajid Javid , has announced to give a one-year spending review), the government departments "financial security" as a preparation for the Brexit.

Mr Javid, is said to be a spending round for 2020-21 would be "the reason is clear against Brexit, while the priorities of the people".

He told the BBC he was confident that it would suffice. the government priorities for the NHS, Police and schools

It is not a multi-year spending review.

These happen usually every two to four years, and due to Brexit delays, there has been no such review since 2015.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies, it is called the "long-awaited", while labour said the Tories were "playing Dangerous Games with the expenditure".

the spending reviews are carried out regularly, to fix the of the state Fund fixed expenditure ceilings, and to determine what The Public expect from the government.

Mr Javid told the BBC: "One of the things I've done, I want to make sure that all departments, including My Own , are very focused on our priority to ensure we leave the European Union on the 31. October.

"That's why I'm a one-year expenditure, so that we can list only focused on our priority.

"But I am confident that in the spending round that we will be able to meet all of our priorities and that is certainly means increased focus on the NHS, Police and schools. "

Mr Javid was appointed Chancellor by the incoming Prime Minister , Boris Johnson last month, to replace Philip Hammond .

to Speak, after data showed that the economy declined in the second quarter of the year, he added: "I'm going to a Registrar, to ensure that Our Country continues to be within our capabilities. "

He also said that the economy remained strong, and was forecast to return to growth, which means the government is able to invest "continues to be one of the priorities of The British people".

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Rishi Sunak said: "This spending round to give financial security for the departments," the plans for the next year.

"We are investing in the priority areas of schools and Police , while at the same time our promise to the NHS, defence and development aid [development assistance]. "

Mr McDonnell said that the approach "before the smells of-choice-panic"

Under the Johnson administration, emergency preparations for a possible no-deal Brexit were high hazards.

last week, Mr Javid announced that the preparation for such a result - a doubling of the amount of money the government has set aside in this year.

'Gaping holes'

the work of the Lord said to McDonnell, the approach "before the smells of-choice-panic-measures of the government".

"Boris Johnson is splash a bit of cash as a publicity stunt, but keep the door open for yet more austerity, if a no-deal-UK to exit the EU breaks the economy," he said.

Mr McDonnell said there were "gaping holes" in the expenditure plans, with "not nearly enough", the allocation to the NHS, schools or local government.

About 50% of the state spending is planned on a multi-year basis, when It Comes to things like public services, like the NHS, schools or The Police , which is unlikely to change drastically from year to year.

in General, these households are in three or four years in advance, to help the government departments to plan their expenditure more effectively.

Analysis

Tony Bonsignore, political correspondent

departments of the government are likely to have different views on this announcement.

On The One hand, some public services - for example, health and The Police - can more money be offered. It can also discharge more money on dealing with the possible consequences of a not-offer the UK's EU.

The government says that this decision is done on the Brexit and the priorities of the people.

But the decision also makes it more difficult for public services to plan for the longer period, as they now have to wait Another Year for The Real spending issue.

There is also the danger that the expenditure taps could be switched off, as soon as they are turned on. That 's Labour' s attack - it accuses the government of playing "Dangerous Games " and "abandonment of any pretense of a long-term economic plan".

"If you are a head teacher or head of a Police , if you are trying to find out who to hire, or whether the investment in a piece of equipment that helps to know, what will be your budget, in The Future ," Ben Zaranko, a research economist with The Institute for Fiscal Studies, told the BBC.

"If you plan, on a year-to-year basis, it is pretty hard. "

This Time , the published spending review, in advance of the Budget, which means that the Chancellor 's spending plans, before he updated forecasts for the economy, and before it has set, tax policy, Mr Zaranko added.

One-year spending reviews are not unprecedented. In 2013, the government has the budget for 2015-16, to avoid, spending, decisions on the next Election .

German Chancellor , Sajid Javid and Home Secretary Priti Patel , were given a tour of Tilbury Docks, the beginning of August

The IFS said Mr Zaranko, it made sense that the Chancellor was not prepared to undertake more expenditure plans, because "we don't know what the economy will look like six months down The Line , let alone three years".

However, it would make it much more difficult for the government to plan the departments for The Future .

Earlier this year, Her Majesty 's Chief Inspector of Constabulary published a report warning that man would be the year of the spending reviews is not good for The Police in England.

But James Jamieson, Chairman of The Local Government Association, welcomed The One -year spending round, to say to the councils "urgently need some certainty about how local services will begin in the next year, its budget-setting Process ".
