UK's autumn budget date falls before crunch Brexit talks

British Finance Minister Philip Hammond delivers his autumn budget statement on Oct 29, earlier than usual as the government prepares for a crucial Brexit summit in November.

"I'll set out how our balanced approach is getting debt falling while supporting our vital public services, and how we are building a stronger, more prosperous economy," Hammond said in a tweet.

Prime Minister Theresa May has already promised a big increase in the budget for the national health service.

British finance ministers typically deliver their autumn statements on the budget in November.
