| This afternoon, with just two weeks to go until Brexit, chancellor Philip Hammond will deliver his Spring Statement.
According to the Telegraph's Jeremy Warner, one of Britain's leading business and economics commentators, there will be no new tax or spending initiatives of any significance, and only a small smattering of reviews and consultations.
Telegraph Money reporters have jotted down their predictions for what Hammond's speech may cover, including tax, pensions, property and more. Could he pull a bunny out of the hat with Britain's exit from the European Union just days away?
For all the latest news on the Spring Statement, including what's announced and what it means for your household finances, keep an eye on the Telegraph Money homepage this afternoon and throughout the week.

| Ben Smith said about How to buy your child a house for just 106.25 a month: "We did this for our four children at a pinch. Then came the crash. Then came tuition fees. Then we lost child benefit. Their grandparents are okay though - final salary pension schemes, fuel allowances, bus passes, TV licenses.
Good to see the future's bright."
Robert Axton said about Home buyers overpaying by 13,000: "Not one the floor-space measurements of the many houses we have looked around recently matched reality. Estate Agents should not be permitted to get away with fraud by printing a disclaimer on the property details. They should be required by law to be accurate in everything they state."
Steve Aucock said about 'We were sold retirement homes we can't live in all year round': "'Caveat emptor' is a Latin legal term which means buyer beware. These 'misled' buyers will have had the opportunity to understand this and the terms of their ground lease from their lawyer if they had bothered to listen. But then, salesmen promising sunshine and relaxation are much more interesting than solicitors, aren't they?" |
