British Finance Minister Unveils Budget

Available for over a year

Philip Hammond has unveiled a budget he claims will cut Britain's debt mountain to size. We ask our regular economic commentator Roger Bootle of Capital Economics whether the UK's two trillion dollar national debt is as big a problem as the government believes. And the BBC's David Harper gets business reaction to the budget in Cambridge in the east of England. Also in the programme, following revelations that the CIA may be able to turn Samsung smart televisions into recording devices, we visit the Spymaster store in central London to talk to its director, Lee Marks. Dutch voters go to the polls a week from today, and the BBC's Manuela Saragosa has been gauging the mood in Maastricht. Plus one of America's top female entrepreneurs, Terese Tucker of technology company Blackline, tells us how she made it from the family farm to the boardroom.
