Commenting on the Spending Review, Portsmouth South MP Stephen Morgan said:
“More jobs, shorter NHS waiting lists and better public services – those are the results from today’s Spending Review which will make Portsmouth people and local families better off.
“As the Chancellor set out, the government is turning our country around but I know too many people including here in Portsmouth are yet to really feel that change.
“That’s why I support the major announcements today including the biggest boost to social and affordable housing investment in a generation, record levels of funding in our NHS and a £20 billion increase in defence spending bringing highly skilled jobs to our city.
“These investments are only possible because of the tough decisions the government has made to unlock economic growth. I strongly welcome these plans which will make a big difference to Portsmouth.”
