Spring Statement 2022

Amid rising pressure to bring in significant relief measures to combat the current international emergency, Chancellor Rishi Sunak implied ahead of time that he could only do so much.
Speaking at the weekend, he acknowledged concerns about price hikes and inflation, vowing to stand by people in the same way he's "done over the past couple of years". But, in the same breath, the Chancellor warned that the Government couldn’t "completely protect people against some of the difficult times ahead".
