Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps his Department is taking to manage the public finances effectively.

The government is committed to ensuring that the public finances are managed effectively and that we are delivering value for taxpayers' money across government spending.

At the Autumn Budget and Spending Review 2021, the Chancellor confirmed new fiscal rules which will ensure that the public finances are on a stable footing in the years to come. The Office for Budget Responsibility confirm we are on track to get debt falling by 2024-25 and meet all our fiscal rules.
