Rachel Reeves confirmed plans to seek a 15% reduction in admin costs across Whitehall .

She said this would also result in about 10,000 job losses in the civil service.

Public and Commercial Services Union ( PCS ) warns there will be consequences for public services.

PCS general secretary Fran Heathcote: “You can’t cut your way to growth”.

“Look, I took those tickets to go with a member of my family,” Reeves said. “I thought that was the right thing to do from a security perspective.” The chancellor later added: “These weren’t tickets that you could pay for, so there wasn’t a price for those tickets. Obviously, I’ll declare the value of them but they weren’t tickets that you were able to buy.”.
