Osborne's plan to spend his way out of trouble
Activer le mode zenNigel Morris
A major building programme to help breathe life into Britain's struggling economy will be announced by George Osborne tomorrow - but the cost of constructing the new schools, roads and power stations will be partly met by further spending cuts.
Plans for a £30bn infrastructure programme will be a key element in the Chancellor's Autumn Statement as he seeks ways of staving off recession. It also emerged yesterday that the Government would underwrite loans of up to £40bn to small businesses and that it would increase the levy on the banks' balance sheets.
The moves come as Mr Osborne faces the gloomiest of economic backdrops, with Britain looking likely to slide back into a downturn early next year.
