The PM+M Spring Statement seminar 2019

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, has revealed that the 2019 Spring Statement will be held on Wednesday 13 March.

The announcement will be held just 17 days before the UK is scheduled to leave the EU. We are in a period of uncertainty on government rules, unprecedented in modern times. Our government is struggling to give business the clarity needed for good decision making.
