April showers? The Spring Statement In review
2 April 2025, 9:30 am – 11:00 am
Location: Old Queen Street Cafe, 6 Old Queen St, London SW1H 9HP
Think tank: Centre for Policy Studies

This event hosted by UK think tank the Centre for Policy Studies will review both the Spring Statement and the state of the economy.
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?
Join an expert panel at Old Queen Street Cafe on Wednesday 2 April to review both the Spring Statement and the state of the economy.
Doors open at 9.30am, the panel will take place from 10am.
