Chancellor Philip Hammond has unveiled his first Autumn Statement - but what did it include?
Housing
• Letting agents in England will be banned on charging upfront fees 'as soon as possible'
• More homes - a £2.3bn housing infrastructure fund to provide 100,000 new homes in high-demand areas
• £1.4bn to deliver 40,000 extra affordable homes
Drivers
• Fuel duty will be frozen for seventh year in a row - saving average car driver £130 a year
• More electric car charging points
• Crackdown on whiplash claims - which Mr Hammond said would save drivers about £40 in car insurance
• But insurance premium tax will rise to 12pc - a 2pc rise on your car insurance (and home and travel)
There's also hope insurance could fall as a crackdown on whiplash claims was announced.
Workers
• A rise in the minimum wage from £7.20 to £7.50 an hour for over-25s
• Removal of salary sacrifice tax breaks for things including company cars, gym memberships, computers or phone contracts. Childcare, pensions, cycle-to-work schemes and ultra-low emission vehicles will remain included
• People receiving universal credit will keep more of it when they enter work - the taper rate will be cut from 65pc to 63pc
• No plans for further welfare savings this Parliament
Savers
• A new 2.2pc savings account is being launched, letting savers put away up to £3,000
Infrastructure
• £1.1bn extra investment in English local transport networks
• £220m to reduce traffic pinch points
• £1.8bn from Local Growth Fund to English regions
• More than £1bn for digital infrastructure
• 100pc business rate relief on new fibre infrastructure
• Rural Rate Relief upped to 100pc
• £7.6m for repairs to Wentworth Woodhouse, near Rotherham
Business
• Doubling the UK's export funding capacity
• £400m into venture capital funds to unlock £1bn in finance for growing firms
Taxation
• Income tax threshold will be raisded to £11,500 in April and £12,000 by the end of this Parliament
• Employee and employer National Insurance thresholds to be equalised at £157 per week from April next year
Other
• There will no longer be an Autumn Statement - instead, there will be an autumn budget and a spring statement
