WQ.159/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHIEF MINISTER BY DEPUTY K.M. WILSON OF ST. CLEMENT QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 22nd APRIL 2024 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 29th APRIL 2024
Question
“Will the Chief Minister advise what plans, if any, he has to control spending across Government?” Answer
As outlined in the Common Strategic Policy (“CSP”) the Council of Ministers is planning to reprioritise existing budgets where appropriate to deliver the objectives. It is also the intention to curb further growth in the public sector and rely less on external consultants.
The Council of Ministers is now commencing the 2025 budget process, aiming to lodge before the summer recess. That will include more information on the plans to ensure that public finances are sustainable.
