The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Darren Jones, responded to the Public Sector Finance release for June 2024, saying: “The figures are a clear reminder that this government has inherited the worst economic circumstances since the Second World War, but we’re wasting no time to fix it.
"Fixing the economy’s foundations and restoring stability is the only way we can create growth and put more money back into people’s pockets across the country. That’s why we’ve introduced our Budget Responsibility Bill, which will ensure that no future Government can play fast and loose with the public finances.”
