Towards a Sustainable State

Despite 10 years of austerity, UK public spending is still greater than tax revenues. How can we sustain public service provision in this fiscal climate?

Led by former Home Secretary and Visiting Professor Charles Clarke, the Towards a Sustainable State projects aims to provide a platform for informed debate and analysis on some of the UK’s biggest policy challenges, during a period where public services are stretched and the public purse is being squeezed.

Drawing on the views of a wide range of experts from many disciplines, we are holding seminars and producing analysis, blogs and videos to explore pressing issues – such as the housing crisis, the UK’s ageing population, and the future of work – and generate a more substantive debate.
