First Healey Budget set for 28 October 2026

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, John Healey, has confirmed his first Budget will be delivered on 28 October 2026.

Announcing the date, the Chancellor said that the Budget will ‘move money and power out of Westminster, and into every postcode around Britain’.

He also stressed that the government would continue to meet its fiscal rules, adding that the Budget would provide businesses and families with the stability they need to plan for the future.

Alongside the Budget, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) will publish its latest economic and fiscal forecast, reflecting its assessment of the government’s plans.
