Subdued Spring Statement confirms Chancellors planned spending review for post-brexit Britain<\/span><\/h2>\n

Philip Hammond, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, delivered his Spring Statement 2019 to Parliament on 13 March. Set against continuing uncertainty over Brexit and just hours before MPs were due to vote on whether to exit the EU without a deal, Mr Hammond devoted much of his speech to the possible effects that leaving the European Union could have on the UK\u2019s finances.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chancellor announced that the UK economy continues to grow, with wages increasing and unemployment at historic lows, providing a solid foundation on which to build Britain\u2019s economic future.<\/span><\/p>\n

With borrowing and debt both forecast to be lower in every year than at last year\u2019s Budget, the Chancellor set out further investments in infrastructure, technology, housing, skills and clean growth, so that the UK can capitalise on the post-EU exit opportunities that lie ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chancellor also confirmed that the government will hold a Spending Review which will conclude alongside the 2019 Autumn Budget. This will set departmental budgets, including three-year budgets for resource spending, if an EU exit deal is agreed. Ahead of that, the Chancellor announced extra funding to tackle serious violence and knife crime, with \u00a3100 million available to police forces in the worst affected areas in England and Wales.<\/span><\/p>\n
