Labour ‘not sticking to Conservative spending plans’, says shadow minister
A shadow Treasury minister has insisted Labour is “not sticking to Conservative spending plans”, amid fears of post-election cuts.
Darren Jones made the remark after it was put to him that the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has accused the two main parties of a “conspiracy of silence” about public spending after the election.
The Office for Responsibility has said the current plans “imply no real growth in public spending per person over the next five years”.
