Make Government spending transparent, adjust funding "increases" for inflation

Petition Details

Often funding increases are announced, which amount to a funding cut after inflation. The only transparent approach is to deflate figures for inflation to give an increase figure in "real terms".

Additional Information

Full Fact provides evidence that the Grant review for police funding amounts to a cut after inflation.

Conservatives say Labour voted against an increase.
