Forward March or April Showers? The Spring Statement dissected

Rachel Reeves went into her first Budget blaming the Conservatives for the tough decisions she was having to make. But as the Spring Statement approaches, it is the Chancellor's own decisions that have come under the spotlight - in particular the impact of her tax rises on business confidence, jobs and growth. Can her latest fiscal event help Britain escape the economic doom loop, or will it have made things even worse? 

To review both the Spring Statement and the state of the economy, we are pleased to welcome a panel of experts including:

• Shadow Chancellor Rt Hon Mel Stride MP
• Prof. David Miles, a member of the OBR's Budget Responsibility Committee
• Alys Denby, Opinion and Features Editor - City AM
• Robert Colvile, Director - CPS (Chair)

Doors open at 9.15am, the panel will take place from 9.30am.
