BORIS Johnson is planning to inject more cash into schools, hospitals and the police as he seeks to “clear the ground” for the looming Brexit deadline.
The Prime Minister and Chancellor Sajid Javid have instructed departments to complete their budgets for 2020/21 by September, with less than three months to go until the the UK leaves the EU. The fast-track plan is aimed at freeing up departments, who had originally been ordered to budget for three years. Mr Javid said: “We will get Brexit done by October 31 and put our country on the road to a brighter future.
“The prime minister and I have asked for a fast-tracked spending round for September to set departmental budgets for next year.
“This will clear the ground ahead of Brexit while delivering on people’s priorities.”
The one-year review into public spending and investment comes after Mr Johnson vowed to put an extra 20,000 police officers on the streets.
