Help to Buy, late payment legislation, boosting infrastructure … it’s all up for grabs in Philip Hammond’s speech

The construction sector is looking for today’s budget to provide the industry with a much-needed shot in the arm as fears of a ‘No Deal’ Brexit increase and speculation buzzes around government policies such as its Help to Buy scheme.

When chancellor of the exchequer Philip Hammond rises to give his budget in the House of Commons this afternoon Building will be bringing you every relevant aspect of the speech on www.building.co.uk and via Building’s Twitter feed.
