London, Aug 6 (IANS) British Prime Minister David Cameron has said his government will use ideas from the public to cut spending in its efforts to rein in the country’s massive deficit.
He said the government had received 67,000 suggestions from state workers on how savings could be made since an engagement initiative was launched last month, the Daily Express reported Friday.
Cameron highlighted two of the suggestions which would be implemented. First, rules on criminal records checks would be eased for workers of the National Health Service (NHS). Secondly, people who had visa applications refused would have to contribute to the cost of appeal.
