Description
The Autumn Statement is an update on the Government's taxation and spending plans for the economy. The statement usually takes place in October or November, and is delivered by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Commons. After the Statement is delivered, the Shadow Chancellor will respond, followed by a representative for the Scottish National Party. The Chair of the Treasury Committee is often called to respond at this point too. MPs will then debate the Autumn Statement for three days.
