Who approves the Budget?

The UK Budget, like the one Chancellor John Healey announced, needs to be approved by Parliament. It's a key part of the government's financial plan, outlining spending and tax changes. MPs debate the proposals, and then vote on them to make them law, ensuring democratic oversight of public money.
