Coming up: Chancellor Jeremy Hunt delivers spring budget

Jeremy Hunt delivers the 2024 spring budget in the House of Commons from 12.30. The chancellor, who is expected to announce a 2p reduction to national insurance (NI) in what could be the last major fiscal event before the next election, said "lower tax means higher growth". While he did not confirm what taxes he plans to slash, Sky News understands that the 5p freeze on fuel duty will be extended. The budget is accompanied by economic and fiscal outlooks from the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the independent public finances forecaster.
