UK finance minister pledges infrastructure spending on roads, buses and broadband

MANCHESTER, England - British finance minister Sajid Javid will on Monday pledge to improve Britain’s road, broadband coverage and bus services, setting out an investment package designed to win over voters before an expected early election.

He will commit 5 billion pounds to improving fast broadband access in harder-to-reach parts of the country, announce a strategy to improve bus services, and set out how billions already set aside for road improvements will be spent. After nearly a decade of deficit-reducing spending cuts under Conservative-led government, the recently-appointed Javid has adopted a less restrained approach to the public finances, promising to rewrite the rules that underpin spending.

He mustn't get his hair wet
