PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) commissioned BritainThinks in July 2010 to convene a Citizens’ Jury and conduct a wider public opinion poll to consider ‘Dealing with the Deficit’ as part of the PwC response to the Spending Review 2010 consultation. The purpose of this activity was to help inform the coalition Government’s thinking by providing insight into citizens‘ attitudes and views on the deficit, and to understand the criteria important to citizens that government should use when selecting where and how to make cuts in public spending.
