Emergency Budget
17 June 2010
[tx: Tuesday 22 June]

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne will deliver his emergency Budget to the House of Commons on Tuesday 22 June and Sky News will be there with extensive coverage.

The new government may not have presided over the financial disaster that’s afflicted the UK but it does have to tackle the country’s spiralling debt - and that means hitting the public in the pocket.

Sky News HD will be close to all the action, at Westminster, the City and across the UK as the new Chancellor outlines his plans.

Dermot Murnaghan, Kay Burley, Adam Boulton, Jeff Randall and Anna Jones will lead Sky’s coverage, which begins at 11.00 and includes the Chancellor’s speech in full, live from the House of Commons. City Editor Mark Kleinman will be on hand with all the breaking news lines. During the speech, Sky’s new Budget vid-printer will bring viewers all the key measures as they’re announced. Expert reaction, analysis and advice will follow.

Coverage continues at 19.00 with a special edition of Jeff Randall Live, where the City’s biggest hitters will have their say on the Chancellor’s big debut.
