The study touches upon the issue of the state budget social welfare expenditure by Tony Blair’s Labour government in the United Kingdom in 1997-2001. Based on the budgetary papers from the Treasury, the author has identified key areas of «New Labour» social program financed by the government, including employment policy, family support and child welfare, healthcare, and education. The author has studied the amount of public funding for major social expenses in the period from 1997 to 2001. These social policy items are state-financed and have one common goal - the transformation of the «Welfare State» by means of reasonable use of public funds. The fiscal policy of Tony Blair’s Labour government has become a logical continuation of a «Third Way» position, which is serving as the ideological platform of «New Labour».
