Britain’s fiscal plan has been moved (again) from 31 October to 17 November and will be a full budget.
The chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, said: “Our number one priority is economic stability and restoring confidence that the United Kingdom is a country that pays its way and for that reason, the medium-term fiscal plan is extremely important.
“It’s also extremely important that statement is based on the most accurate possible economic forecasts and forecasts of public finances, and for that reason the prime minister and I have decided that it is prudent to make that statement on 17th of November when it will be upgraded to a full autumn statement.”
