BBC World Service - Business Matters, UK Reveals Annual Budget as Slowdown Forecast

UK Chancellor Philip Hammond has revealed details of its government spending plans

The UK has revealed details of its government spending plans.

The UK Chancellor Philip Hammond has revealed details of its government spending plans, including tax relief for first-time home buyers and a cash injection for the country's health service. We get reaction on the annual budget.

Jon Bithrey is joined throughout the programme by Jyoti Malhotra of the Indian Express in Delhi and Peter Morici, professor of international business at the University of Maryland, in Washington DC.
