The Power of the Purse: HM Treasury in focus

​The Treasury sits at the heart of the UK’s economic model and system of government. Yet to many, it is something of a black box; its inner workings and power dynamics a mystery.

In conversation with Treasury figures past and present, we’ll discuss how HMT decides what gets funded across Whitehall, and how it uses its power to build a stronger, fairer economy. The event will also be followed by a drinks reception so please do stick around.

​Confirmed speakers:

• ​Helen MacNamara, Chair of FGF and former Deputy Cabinet Secretary

• ​Baroness Ussher, Former Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury

• ​James Murray MP, Financial Secretary to the Treasury

• ​Phil Tinline, Journalist, Broadcaster and FGF Policy Associate
