Reeves is now asked how businesses can plan for the future when the Budget is later than usual this year.

“We said at the general election we’d move to one Budget a year” says Reeves.

The previous government had too many changes, she adds, with Budgets every few months.

This “created uncertainty”, adding that having them less frequently avoids “ups and downs” in taxes and policy changes.

Speaking more broadly, she says she is “proud of what we’ve achieved in these first fifteen months”, Reeves says/

She cites “the fastest growing economy in the G7”, five cuts to interest rates, and trade deals.

“I do recognise there is more to do,” she adds.
