Reeves confirms 15% cut to Civil Service running costs

Government running costs will be cut by 15% by the end of the decade, the chancellor has promised.
Rachel Reeves told the BBC savings would be made from back office and administrative roles rather than front-line services.
But unions warned the impact of cuts would still be felt by the public, while 10,000 jobs are expected to go.
It comes ahead of the chancellor’s Spring Statement on Wednesday, when she is expected to announce spending cuts for some government departments.
The move is part of an ongoing spending review looking into all areas of government activity.
