Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many officials in his Department were involved in producing the document, An alternative fiscal path beyond 2016-17, published on 19 March 2015.
In line with the Ministerial Code, as the Chief Secretary to the Treasury I asked Treasury officials to calculate the impact on the fiscal aggregates of a set for alternative assumptions on tax and spend for the years beyond 2016-17. All costs were met from within existing budgets.
