UK finance minister poses with 'red box' ahead of budget delivery

Description

UK Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt poses outside 11 Downing Street with the red, leather-covered box containing his speech before leaving to present the spring budget to parliament. Britain's Conservative government is expected to use the budget update to unveil tax cuts for millions of workers, in an attempt to woo voters before a general election. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's party, which has been in power since 2010, is well behind the main opposition Labour party in opinion polls and looks likely to be dumped out of office. IMAGES

Gross domestic product will expand 0.6 percent in 2023, Hunt said citing the Office for Budget Responsibility fiscal watchdog, upgrading its prior forecast of minus 0.2 percent. GDP is then set to grow by 0.7 percent in 2024, which was sharply down from previous guidance for a 1.8-percent expansion. SOUNDBITE
