Workers to pitch cuts ideas on ‘Dragons’ Den’

The Tory Chancellor, who wants to sell off £32 billion of public assets this year among many cuts to services, called on public-sector workers to submit ideas for cuts in their own services.
After pitching their ideas online the winning candidates will be grilled by Treasury boffins.
