Breaking: Jeremy Hunt announces March 6 Spring Budget
Quote:
The fiscal event is seen by Downing Street as a crucial milestone in the run-up to a general election expected next year, with tax cuts widely expected.
Hunt has also commissioned the Office for Budget Responsibility, the fiscal watchdog, to prepare an economic and fiscal forecast to be published alongside the Budget.

Rishi Sunak has been accused of a "desperate" briefing on inheritance tax (IHT) after reports suggested it would be slashed ahead of the next election.
It comes as the government confirmed the date of the next spring budget, which will be delivered on 6 March.
On Wednesday, The Daily Telegraph reported that Downing Street is considering axing IHT as part of a "gear change" on tax, having made halving inflation rather than reducing the tax burden a priority of his premiership.
However, Labour rubbished the story as a "desperate briefing from a desperate prime minister who is spending his Christmas break trying to keep Tory MPs on side".
