Minimum Wage increased

"Britain needs a pay rise."

From April 2016, a new National Living Wage of £7.20 an hour for the over 25s will be introduced. This will rise to over £9 an hour by 2020.

Infrastructure investment

Another big winner from the Budget was infrastructure, with particular emphasis placed on improving Britain’s roads.

In addition:

  • no rise in fuel duty
  • reform to vehicle excise duties to pay for new roads
  • £30m to promote integrated transport in north of England
