The government is seeking the public's views on what it would like to see in the Autumn Statement 2014, taking place this year on 3 December.

The government said that, “in the interest of open and transparent policy-making”, it welcomes “original and innovative ideas”, which will be considered by HM Treasury as part of the policy-making process.

Businesses, charities and members of the public can submit their views via email HERE.

Information on the correct procedure for submitting ideas can be found HERE.

To allow for full consideration in advance of the Autumn Statement, any submission should be sent to HM Treasury by 17 October.

The Autumn Statement, in which Chancellor George Osborne will update MPs on growth and borrowing forecasts and outline planned tax and spending measures, will come just six months before the general election.

In recent years, Osborne has used the occasion to make announcements on energy, welfare and pensions.

Speaking in Parliament, Osborne said: “The core purpose of the Treasury is to ensure the stability and prosperity of the economy.

“That is delivered by our long-term plan and I can tell the House the plan will be further expanded on at the Autumn Statement, which I will deliver on Wednesday 3 December.”
