LONDON (AFX) - The chancellor, Gordon Brown, will tomorrow signal the government's determination to put public services ahead of an early dash for membership of the single currency, with a point-blank refusal to accept European Commission calls to cut 10 bln stg of spending on hospitals, schools and transport, the Guardian said without citing sources. Amid growing disquiet among countries inside the eurozone over the way Brussels is attempting to impose budgetary discipline, the chancellor will tell a meeting of EU finance ministers that the government has no intentions of scrapping plans to borrow for investment in Britain's infrastructure, the paper added.
