The Treasury, and indeed any government department must take their lead from the government in power. When there is a coalItion, matters are more tricky but the loyalty is presumably to the minister.

Surely, the Government must now release the Treasury evidence for independent scrutiny?
I am not convinced that your argument would have the support of the likely three million who would lose their jobs. People vote for their own economic and social welfare and best interest surely? For example, take the case of women who have had their pensions deferred.
