Chancellor Philip Hammond declared, at the start of what turned out to be a 72-minute Statement, that this was to be "a Budget for hard working families".

He also told the House of Commons the last time a Budget had been delivered on a Monday was in 1962, when he was just six years old - "and I remember my parents turning to me and saying: Philip, that could be you one day", he added gleefully.

If advisers tuned in hoping to hear more mention of the B word and P word - that's Brexit and pensions - then they will have been sorely disappointed.

Chris Jones, proposition director at Dynamic Planner, observes: "This was a Budget that had less impact on the financial planning world than we had come to expect from previous chancellors.

"Pensions and allowances in general were relatively untouched, some were increased by CPI and some weren’t, with a general feel for round numbers."

But he notes: "This was still a giveaway Budget, with much of that money likely to enter into the economy directly or indirectly, it could be inflationary.

"The finance section of the 'Red Book' even documents the risk of inflation shock to the public finances and therefore the lesson for financial planners from this Budget could well be to make sure that they plan for this in their clients' private finances. Brexit could, of course, be inflationary as transport delays and any tariffs are passed onto the consumer."

This guide will take a closer look at the announcements related to pensions and social care, tax, as well as housing. The features contained in this guide will also look at what the Chancellor revealed in terms of spending on Brexit preparations and what he delivered for investors and savers generally.

This guide is worth an indicative 60 minutes of CPD.
