This week as John Healey delivered his first Budget his deputy - the Chief Secretary to the Treasury Emma Reynolds - talks to Alain Tolhurst about what was in the Chancellor’s Red Box – and more importantly, what wasn’t – after the government was accused of kicking some of the big decisions down the road to next autumn’s Spending Review, while packing this year’s fiscal event with lots of small measures that just tinker round the edges.


And later in the episode a panel of experts run the rule over Healey’s speech, and the wider economic backdrop, featuring PolHome political reporter Zoe Crowther, alongside the Liberal Democrat MP Bobby Dean, who sits on the Treasury Select Committee, and Dan Haile, senior economist at the Institute for Government.
