Philip Hammond Photographer: Luke MacGregor/Bloomberg?While we are making steady progress in eliminating the deficit, there are still some voices calling for massive borrowing to fund huge spending sprees,? Hammond wrote.
?As we begin our negotiations with the European Union we are embarking on a new chapter in our history,? Hammond wrote in the newspaper.
Hammond, writing in the newspaper, warned Brexit may bring ?unexpected? challenges, and stressed the need to maintain fiscal discipline, reaffirming his goal to balance the books in the next Parliament.
?We may face unexpected challenges in the months and years ahead as we forge our vision of Britain?s future in the world.?
Hammond said his budget would focus on three key points: supporting May in her Brexit negotiations by maintaining the economy?s resilience, getting Britain ?match fit? for the exit by targeted investment, and helping ordinary working families.
