The Treasury is requesting that ministers prepare for significant cuts to infrastructure projects, potentially amounting to billions of pounds, over the next 18 months. This move comes despite Rachel Reeves' commitment to increasing investment aimed at stimulating economic growth. According to government sources, cabinet members have been instructed to consider reductions of up to 10% in their annual capital spending as part of the upcoming spending review. This directive raises concerns about the government's ability to fulfill its promises of investment in infrastructure and economic development.
