The Chancellor of the Exchequer- Sajid Javid has confirmed that the next Budget will be held on Wednesday 11 March 2020.
He said that the budget:
- will set out ambitious plans to unleash Britain’s potential, level up across the UK and usher in a decade of renewal
- will start a new chapter for the economy, seizing the opportunities that come from getting Brexit done
As many will know, I am not a supporter of Brexit so it will be “interesting” to see what these opportunities are.
The launch of the Budget process means that individuals, interest groups and representative bodies can now submit a Budget representation to HM Treasury to comment on government policy and/or suggest new policy for inclusion in the Budget.
For completeness, the Scottish Budget date has also been announced: 6 February 2020.
