Driving down the deficit

We're setting off on a five day trip to find out how you would cut the budget deficit if you were Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Our aim is to see how much of the national overdraft we can chip away in just a week with your ideas.

Our first stop is Reading in Berkshire.

Declan Curry and Chris Mason will be asking people at the Broad Street Mall how they would save money on the UK’s home affairs budget. We’re looking at the money currently spent on things like schools, hospitals and police.
