Letter to the Chancellor and Chief Secretary to the Treasury
In advance of the Autumn 2024 Budget, TRL Insight wrote to the Chancellor, Rt. Hon. Rachel Reeves MP, and the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Rt. Hon. Darren Jones MP. This letter put directly to them the points made in my LinkedIn article How to “recognise the benefits of investment” and unlock local growth (see below). Namely, that the Government should look at fiscal reporting in the round and implement more comprehensive reforms based on its vision for the future of the UK, reflecting: the need for greater investment in early intervention and preventing future costs, and the growing financial autonomy of local government.
