For immediate release
Responding to reports that the chancellor plans to crackdown on wasteful EDI spending in Whitehall, Tom Ryan, policy analyst of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“Taxpayers are fed up of funding public sector non-jobs.
“But with reductions in taxpayer-funded EDI roles promised before, the proof will be in the pudding.
“The chancellor should be tenacious in identifying where savings can be made.”
