Explained in plain English

Who writes the Budget's details?

While the Chancellor announces the Budget, the detailed proposals are developed by the Treasury, supported by a large team of civil servants. They analyse economic data, forecast impacts, and draft the specific measures, working closely with the Chancellor and their political advisors to shape the final document before it's presented to Parliament.
