Im not going to get an answer. It matters because the trial appears to have gone wrong just weeks before her new government asked mps to approve billions of pounds to keep the weapons. We are launching this strategy here. Having failed to answer yesterday, today on a cabinet visit, the Prime Minister had to admit she did know. Im regularly briefed on National Security issues, i was briefed on this successful certification of Hms Vengeance and her crew. We dont comment on the operational details for National Security reasons. This Spectacular Misfire in the Late 80s Of An American Trident Missile is rare. The vast majority of tests have been successful. Urgent question. And its not clear what went wrong with this weapons trial. But labour has found a lot wrong with the governments handling of the facts. At the heart of this issue is a worrying lack of transparency, and a Prime Minister who has chosen to cover up a serious incident rather than coming clean with the British Public. This h

Were at westminster in our Budget Studio on the day chancellor Philip Hammond delivered his first budget. As the government prepares to start the process of leaving the eu within weeks the chancellor said the budget prepared britain for a brighter future. Borrowing forecasts have been revised downwards for the next few years. Theres more money for social care in england and a controversial move to raise National Insurance contributions for Self Employed workers. Labour accused the chancellor of producing a Budget Of Utter Complacency which ignored a crisis in Public Services. Well have details and reaction from westminster and beyond. But first lets take a look at those key announcements made by the chancellor earlier this afternoon. The chancellor announced a 1 increase in National Insurance bills for many Self Employed people plans that would raise £145 million a year by 2021 22 a pledge which appears to contradict a conservative manifesto pledge not to raise National Insurance.

And this budget is an example. Nick watt reports. We havent quite heard the first cuckoo, but spring will soon be upon us. As the buds slowly sprout, its time to prepare for future climates, both sunny and chilly. That was the spirit Philip Hammond invoked in the lead up to the budget. Expect to prepare for troubled times as the uk leads the eu. It actually turned out that spreadsheet phil is so comfortable in his dream job that we witnessed gag a minute phil as he cracked a joke about the last chancellor, who announced the demise of the Spring Budget.

What they fail to remind me, mr deputy speaker, was that ten weeks later he was sacked laughter so wish me luck today ah, a chancellor who thinks he can deliver a deadly serious budget whilst lightening the mood with some gags at the expens
Of the day in the commons and the lords. On this programme the budget addresses the crisis in social care in england. The chancellor has help for stretched local councils. I am committing additional Grant Funding of £2 billion to social care in england over the next three years. But the Labour Leader accuses Philip Hammond of producing a complacent budget. Who is reaping the rewards of this economy . For millions, it is simply not working. Away from the budget and back to brexit, and predictions of long delays in the processing of Residency Applications by the home office. It would take the home office more than 50 years. 50 years to deal with 3. 2 million european nationals in the uk. It was phlip hammonds first budget and, curiously, it was actually his last. Or at least, his last to be presented in march. From now on, the annual budget will take place in the autumn. The chancellor called it a fair package of measures. There was £2 billion for social care, relief for those hit by c
