UNISON General Secretary Dave Prentis, reacting to the Budget,
said:
“We are delighted the Chancellor has stuck to his guns and
continued to put public services first. This budget will boost
confidence in the Government’s ability to deliver the world class
schools and hospitals they promised the electorate. And it will
boost morale amongst workers.
“What the public services need above all is stability – and it is all
credit to the Chancellor for delivering that, particularly at this
difficult time in world affairs.
“We are pleased, too, with his poverty-busting measures and that
he has emphasised the need to budget for peace.”
