New capital spending won't undo damage from Chancellor's £22bn infrastructure cuts, says TUC

Commenting on the government's announcement today (Tuesday) that it will invest £5bn in new infrastructure projects, Midlands TUC Regional Secretary Rob Johnston said:

“The government's £5bn u-turn on infrastructure spending, though welcome, is still nowhere near enough to undo the damage caused by the £22bn of infrastructure cuts over the last two years.
