Healey promises reduction in welfare bill before next election

Chancellor Healey has pledged to reduce the unsustainable welfare bill before the next election. Following the delivery of the first Budget, the Chancellor promised to outline specific plans to lower spending by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the Conservatives have criticised the Chancellor for failing to provide further details regarding welfare reform within the Budget. Healey remains committed to addressing the costs associated with welfare payments to ensure the financial burden becomes more manageable.
