Today the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt Hon Jeremy Hunt MP, made his Autumn Statement speech. The Chancellor set out the government’s plan to put public spending on a sustainable footing and get debt falling, while protecting vital public services and prioritising the needs of the most vulnerable. Full details are set out in the Autumn Statement document on GOV.UK, alongside other relevant documentation from the OBR and Treasury. A focused Autumn Finance Bill will be introduced next week to legislate for some of the measures announced today.
