The 2011 Budget will be held on 23 March, Chancellor George Osborne has announced.
The chancellor revealed the date while giving evidence to the Treasury Select Committee on the impact of last month’s Spending Review.
The coalition held its first Budget in June, fulfilling a Tory pledge to do so within 50 days of being elected.
Mr Osborne has decided to scrap the annual pre-Budget report, introduced by Gordon Brown when he was chancellor.
