Live Chancellors Budget Statement

Budget Speech

 Wednesday 16 March 2016 Meeting starts at 11.30am Commons Chamber

Following the Prime Ministers Question Time, you can see here the Budget Statement from George Osbourne. With the Euro depreciating due to more quantitative easing the pound and UK exports will appear more expensive. The deficit therefore was greater than anticipated along with a raft of other issues such as the recent fall in the Chinese stock market all indicators of things slowing up in the coming year or two.

Osbourne’s threat is still more austerity cuts and potentially he could skew inequality still further with more tax giveaways to the rich while clamping down on the squeezed middle and decimated poor.

This is the programme:

1. Oral questions: International Development, including Topical Questions
2. Prime Minister's Question Time
3. Financial Statement: Budget Statement
4. Adjournment: Commonwealth Games bid for Wales 
   Craig Williams MP (Cardiff North, Conservative)
