Osborne to deliver emergency summer Budget on July 8

Daily Mail  

George Osborne will unveil an emergency budget on July 8 – the second financial statement in four months. Budget day: George Osborne will make the second financial statement in four months The Chancellor said the financial package would focus on 'working people' and turning the Conservatives' election promises 'into a reality'. The data encourage hopes that the weak economic start in 2015 was not as bad as feared and that the first-quarter growth estimate could be revised up from 0.3 per cent. Governor Mark Carney said he now expects growth of 2.5 per cent this year compared with the 2.9 per cent forecast in February. The central bank also cut next year’s projection from 2.9 per cent to 2.6 per cent and the outlook for 2017 from 2.7 per cent to 2.4 per cent as it warned of weak business investment and sluggish gains in productivity.
