House of Commons Library reports that the Chancellor presented the 2026 Autumn Budget to Parliament on 28 October. Supporting documents were published alongside the statement. The Chancellor described the measure as being for the working people of Britain, stating: "for the working people of Britain. It's a Budget for business, big and small".
The Institute for Fiscal Studies characterised the package as broadly the Budget that many were expecting. IFS Director Helen Miller noted the inclusion of a relatively small cost of living package and a handful of tax rises. She added that overall departmental spending remains broadly unchanged in cash terms, leading to real-terms cuts.
The Office for Budget Responsibility published updated economic and fiscal forecasts after the Chancellor's statement. The Institute for Fiscal Studies noted higher borrowing over the next five years. The debate on the Budget in the House of Commons will conclude on 3 November.
