This will create the best conditions for sustainable growth.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 19/06/2015 13:12:53 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

My Department has undertaken a review of the risks and opportunity<strong> </strong>within the Departmental group and I am confident that an underspend of £30m will be delivered by the end of the financial year. This will be achieved through careful financial management to bring expenditure in below budget and on further efficiencies delivered across the group. The government is getting on with the job of repairing the public finances, and to run a surplus in this Parliament. This will create the best conditions for sustainable growth.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 19/06/2015 13:28:33 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
