April 22 will be budget day
13 April 2012
Gordon Brown has put back the Budget until April 22 as he considers plans to lift Britain out of recession.
The move gives him more time to assess Barack Obama's $800billion fiscal stimulus package for the US.
It also allows him to focus on two major global summits including the 2 April G20 meeting at which he hopes to forge international consensus on tackling the economic crisis.
It will be the latest Budget in a non-election year since 1945.
