Apprentices to experts | Chancellor invites budget ideas from every level of Treasury staff

John Healey has invited Treasury employees across grades and professions to put forward budget proposals, with selected contributors offered the opportunity to present their suggestions to him in person.

According to The Guardian, the chancellor has written to staff at the department’s London, Norwich, Leeds and Darlington campuses, encouraging contributions from people whose day-to-day roles do not normally involve shaping government policy.
