The Autumn Budget of the United Kingdoms was announced on 27th October 2021.
Common statements coming from the government in regards to spending on transport, health and education have been put out in the past few days.
Lindsay Hoyle, the common speaker, is furiously telling MP’s on Monday that it was “not acceptable” to brief the media ahead of MP’s.
In 1947, then Chancellor Hugh Dalton had to resign after leaking the budget details to a journalist.
Treasury Minister Simon Clarke said the government had not commented on the “substantive tax measures” that would probably appear in the budget; all of it was for defending pre-budget announcements.
“At least 5% of savings and efficiencies from day-to-day budgets” has been asked for identification by the treasury, expecting to hear more about the plans on Wednesday. It seems like Rishi Sunak’s Budget won’t speak much of generosity.
As per the government’s commitment, spending on health, schools, defence, and overseas aid would be prioritised. Subsequently, that may lead to a squeeze on spendings in other areas such as local government, justice, and further education.
Maintain cautiousness:
Damian Grammaticas’s political analysis as a correspondent
You need to be cautious of everything that you are reading. All these announcements in the run-up to the budget and spending review sound good.
There are no great details about the government’s plan. Possibly, the raft of investments will make a difference, but all of this comes with questions. Have some parts of these transport links, treatment centres and other projects been announced with equal fanfare before now? What about the broad happenings to the budgets of the department getting cash? A shiny investment in something is great, but is that department’s day-to-day spending being delayed? And what about prospect areas that aren’t getting enough handouts?
Everything reached a level of clarity on Wednesday with the announcement of the budget.
