Baroness Falkner of Margravine (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 February 2025

Debate

Contribution

My Lords, the Statement says a lot about spades in the ground; it does not say very much about the UK’s woeful productivity challenge. Is the Minister aware that Gareth Davies, the head of the NAO, has said that our public services cost too much and simply cannot deliver? Beyond the skills shortages, what is the Treasury doing to address the level of public spending that we have reached, which has gone from 33% to 36% in the last five years?
