"No room for complacency" warns Philip Hammond

Britain's finance minister has warned the country must continue to prepare for it's future outside the European Union as he laid out the national budget. 

Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond  noted that the UK's economic growth forecast has been raised for this year from 1.4 per cent to 2 per cent.   However economic growth forecasts have been revised downwards for 2018 to 2020, when Brexit talks for the UK to leave the European Union are expected to be underway. 

Despite forecasts for higher growth and lower borrowing, the minister, affectionately called "Spreadsheet Phil" by colleagues warned that the UK's deficit was still high and productivity low.

He's expected to announce more funding for social care and schools.

But despite stronger than expected public finances, Mr Hammond is expected to be cautious with spending so the UK can weather economic storms as it leaves the EU.
