Hutton's blueprint for reform

摘要

Last week on pensions, then this week on pay - two major reports foreshadow Chancellor George Osborne's Budget on 23 March and the TUC's 'March for the Alternative' on 26 March. Though billed as a day of action for 'jobs, growth and justice' rather than a day of rage, the march and rally in London's Hyde Park is designed to highlight opposition to cuts in public services and should provide a significant barometer on the strength of feeling against current Government policies.
