Budget - 2007 Budget Summary
Gordon Brown presented his eleventh Budget on Wednesday 21 March 2007. This is expected to be his last before

Budget - 2005 Budget Summary

Gordon Brown used his speech to remind us of his golden rule, to balance the current budget over the economic cycle,
and to set out his long-term vision for the country. Press speculation, which was somewhat muted in the run up to
the Budget, had focused on stamp duty land tax breaks for first time buyers and the Chancellor did not disappoint.
