According to people familiar with the matter, a number of senior British ministers have sent a letter to Prime Minister Stammer expressing concern about the scale of spending cuts faced by various departments in the October 30 national budget. People familiar with the matter mentioned above said that several members of the cabinet have sent an official letter to the Prime Minister asking about spending cuts in the one-year departmental expenditure review that is required to be announced along with the budget. The unease at the top of the administration highlights the political tightrope that Chancellor of the Exchequer Reeves is walking in an attempt to restore order to the UK's public finances through tax and spending cuts totaling £40 billion. A Downing Street spokesperson said exchanges are a standard part of this process, and departments are clarifying the challenges and opportunities they face.
