Chancellor Philip Hammond has revealed his Autumn Budget.
We brought you live updates from the Budget.
Peter Fleming, Cumbria's Business Doctor and regular blogger for in-Cumbria, said: "This year's autumn budget will be one of the most important in years for the Government and Philip Hammond as we head towards Brexit and I hope this event will ensure businesses are well briefed on all its implications.
"It's also a chance to instil some well needed confidence and discuss how to prepare for any of the events that might affect your business, particularly if you are concerned about what the future may hold for you, your business and your customer base."
