Three surprise announcements in the Budget – and it’s good news for hard-up households
The Sun says BIG policy changes were revealed in the Chancellor’s Spring Statement speech, but a few were a little unexpected.
The paper has gone through the documents by the Treasury to see what changes were hidden in the small print.
The Spring Statement included an extension of the Energy Price Guarantee which will help millions of households to save £160 on their energy bills.
Parents will be £480 a year better off as strict rules on staff-to-children ratios in nurseries has been relaxed.
Plus drivers have escaped a price hike as fuel duty has been frozen for the 13th year in a row and the 5p cut has been kept.
In a double win for The Sun’s Keep it Down campaign, Jeremy Hunt told MPs he wanted to protect hard-pressed drivers in his first proper Budget.
