At this private roundtable held the morning after the Spending Review, Sharon White – Director General at HM Treasury – set out some of the thinking behind the review. Her presentation was followed by short responses from Professor Sir John Hills (LSE), Ian Mulheirn (chief executive of the Social Market Foundation), Joe Twyman (YouGov) and by a general discussion around the table of the major themes of the Spending Review. The event is one of a regular series of ‘morning-after’ sessions hosted by the Resolution Foundation to provide early analysis of each Autumn Statement, Budget or Spending Review.
