Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether any work is underway to prepare for a fiscal event outside of the usual Treasury timetable.

The Treasury develops policy throughout the year, in line with the Chancellor’s priorities and regardless of whether a date for a fiscal event has been announced.

The government is required by law to commission the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) to produce two forecasts per year and to hold a Budget each fiscal year.

The Chancellor has not announced the date of the next fiscal event.
