Speculation is rife about what chancellor Jeremy Hunt might announce when he sets out the government’s spending plans in the spring Budget.
In the run-up, most reporting had focused on whether taxes would be slashed.
However, reports revealed on Tuesday the chancellor is expected to slice 2p from the rate of National Insurance instead, after concluding income tax cuts would be too expensive and risk stoking inflation, which remained frozen at 4 per cent in January.
We want to know what you’d like to see announced in Jeremy Hunt’s budget.
If you were given the reigns to Number 11, what policies would you implement?
Would you be keen to see more help introduced for first-time buyers? Or would you rather see enhanced VAT relief on electric vehicle charging brought in?
