Can Andy Burnham curb Treasury influence for growth
Andy Burnham aims to shift economic growth policy from the Treasury to a new Department for Growth based in Manchester, drawing inspiration from historical efforts to foster long-term economic planning. He argues that the Treasury's focus on short-term fiscal control hampers growth initiatives and advocates for empowering No 10 to address blockages across government departments. The proposed department is expected to coordinate devolution efforts and regional policies, but its effectiveness may be limited by resource constraints and potential conflicts with the Treasury’s enduring influence.
