Jeremy Hunt has announced 30 hours of free childcare for children under five in his first Spring Budget as Chancellor.
Hunt confirmed that energy support will continue for the next three months, and said that the Office of Budget Responsibility has forecast that inflation will drop to 2.9% by the end of the year, one of Rishi Sunak’s “five priorities”.
He also announced an end to the “prepayment premium” from July in a move that will save four million households £45 a year on energy bills, the Treasury says.
