Today (23 November 2016) at Autumn Statement, the Chancellor set out announcements which will build an economy that works for everyone, in Northern Ireland, and the whole of the UK.

So the government will consider how we can ensure that the taxation of different ways of working is fair between different individuals, and sustains the tax-base as the economy undergoes rapid change.

The refresh is an opportunity to help to deliver a vibrant, competitive and successful defence sector in the UK, contributing to the needs of our Armed Forces, allies and partners around the world as well as making a significant contribution to the UK’s prosperity.

But we must sustain this effort over the long term if we are to make a lasting difference to the UK’s productivity performance.

The Chancellor’s Autumn Statement was good news for Wales. Not only does it help build an economy that works for everyone across Wales and the rest of the UK, it provides a significant over £400 million uplift in the Welsh Government’s capital budget. This comes as a result of the Chancellor’s decision to focus on infrastructure, and will allow the Welsh Government to make decisions that will help people across Wales.
