Hunt has promised a Budget he says will unlock “long-term, sustainable, healthy growth” by “removing the obstacles” preventing people from working. “Today, we deliver the next part of our plan: a budget for growth,” the chancellor is expected to tell the Commons later on Wednesday.
In addition to laying bare the state of the economy after three years of Covid hardship, Hunt is also expected to unveil a series of measures designed to stimulate growth, and others to support Britons and businesses plagued by the cost of living squeeze.
