“There is a huge amount economically and politically riding on what the chancellor says. So far there is little idea about what the May government’s vision really is, outside of delivering Brexit. This statement is the first time that we will start to see what the government’s priorities are and what it wants to achieve,†said law firm Bircham Dyson Bell head of public affairs Stuart Thomson.
“The statement will also show us what the future prospects for the economy are. This will form the basis of all Hammond’s undoubted commitment to infrastructure projects and there will doubtless be more about housing as well, the potential great social divide of the coming years.
“Hammond needs to show how these priorities will be delivered while helping the economy around the potentially bumpy ride that is Brexit.â€
