Treasury watchdog to press Chancellor ‘very hard’ to publish economic analysis of Covid-19 restrictions

Mel Stride's comments come as England re-enters lockdown

The chair of the Treasury Committee Mel Stride will “continue to press very hard” for an economic analysis of the Covid-19 restrictions and lockdowns from the Chancellor and the Treasury.

The analysis has been cited in minutes of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies 21 September meeting but the Treasury has so far made no moves to make the information public, despite requests from the committee of MPs which is charged with holding the City and the government to account.
