Gordon Brown has confirmed the date on which Chancellor Alistair Darling will deliver the Budget 2010 as Wednesday 24 March 2010 (external website). This has fuelled media speculation that the 2010 general election will follow a little over six weeks later, on Thursday 6 May 2010.
It appears likely that the Budget 2010 will be in some ways as "neutral" as the Pre-Budget Report 2009 (which was delivered last December), with tough decisions on public spending cuts expected to be postponed until after the election.
