Episode Details

Through allocating almost half of national income, often over multiple years, spending reviews are the key vehicle through which a government can set its overarching strategy in motion. However, the approach taken in recent years has been ineffective. It has often failed to provide adequate certainty, incentivise cross-government cooperation, make the most effective use of evidence, and successfully identify opportunities for improving long-term productivity. This event explore how a new Labour government can reinvigorate the process so that it can deliver on an ambitious set of cross-cutting missions? 

Speakers:

Dame Meg Hillier MP, Chair of the Treasury Select Committee

Thomas Pope, Deputy Chief Economist at the Institute for Government

Tom Sasse, Britain Public Policy Editor at The Economist

Moira Wallace, former Permanent Secretary

This event was chaired by Dr Gemma Tetlow, Chief Economist at the Institute for Government.

This event was in partnership with the Association for Project Management.
