Where Reeves may splash the cash at the spending review – and who will miss out ...Middle East

News by : (inews) -

On Wednesday, departments across the board, from health to housing, education to environment, will discover what their budgets are likely to look like for the next few years.

Defence and the NHS are also expected to be winners in the lion’s share of funding.

The BBC has reported that total departmental spending will increase under the Government. A Treasury document, released to the broadcaster, has revealed there will be roughly £100bn more in total spending by 2029/30 than when Labour took office. But it does not mean good news for everyone.

The Department of Health and the NHS are expected to be big winners in the spending review.

It comes after Sir Keir Starmer pledged to have 92 per cent of patients treated within 18 weeks by the next election.

Infrastructure

This could include funding for the development of the Sizewell C nuclear power plant in Suffolk.

Spending on transport links has already been disclosed by the Chancellor ahead of Wednesday’s announcement.

Trams in Greater Manchester will get £2.5bn to extend the network and in the West Midlands, they will get £2.4bn to extend services.

South Yorkshire, Liverpool, the North East, the Tees Valley, the West of England and the East Midlands are also in line for transport investment.

Defence

The Ministry of Defence is also expected to be one of the departments gaining the most from next Wednesday’s announcement.

The Prime Minister has also indicated that he wants to increase defence spending to 3 per cent 7of GDP by 2034.

The Ministry of Justice is under pressure to deal with the overcrowding crisis in prisons.

There will be a total capital investment of £4.7bn to start building three new prisons.

Police

The Chancellor said last week that the Government would be increasing spending on police but has also said that not every department will get everything they want.

Councils

The Local Government Association has said councils could face a funding gap of more than £8 billion by 2028/29 without adequate additional funding.

But there has not yet been any firm commitment made on local government spending and it is understood Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner is still in negotiations with the Treasury.
