Chancellor Jeremy Hunt delays fiscal plans despite risk of political embarrassment

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Chancellor Jeremy Hunt delays fiscal plans despite risk of political embarrassment” – below is their description.

Jeremy Hunt has delayed the announcement of his economic plans to get the public finances back on track.

The mid-term fiscal plan, originally due to be published on Halloween, will now be unveiled on November 17 – and will be upgraded to a full Autumn Statement.

The Chancellor said he was willing to make “politically embarrassing” choices and insisted a “short two-and-a-half week delay” to his statement is the best course of action.
