Budgeting for a crisis

BBC Radio 5 Live - Wake Up to Money, Budgeting for a crisis

Will the first budget of Boris Johnson's government be dominated by Coronavirus concerns?

It was sold as a chance to "level-up" Britain. But will the budget now be about mitigating the impact of the virus? Plus airlines in distress and how it might affect your holiday.

Sean hears from three small businesses hit hard by Coronavirus, including a Chinese restaurant and organisers of murder mystery weekends and cycling events. He finds out what the Chancellor could offer in today's budget to help them keep going.
There's also experts on hand to explain what we can expect from Rishi Sunak's first budget and what it means in real terms for you. Will the Coronavirus have thrown off Boris Johnson's big spending plans?
In what is already a tough environment, airlines are now drastically cutting capacity. Sean investigates how the industry's been affected and what it means for your business trip or summer holiday.
