Chancellor brings forward further medium-term fiscal plan measures

This is now being referred to as the Medium-Term Fiscal Plan, where the Chancellor will publish the government's fiscal rules alongside an Office for Budget Responsibility forecast, together with what are described as 'further measures'.

The changes outlined on 17 October are designed to ensure the UK's economic stability and provide confidence in the government's commitment to fiscal discipline. Below, we have outlined the current position.
