Free childcare and pensions reforms, part of the chancellor's drive to get people back to work, have been announced in the Spring Budget, alongside more energy support for 2023.
Jeremy Hunt said his raft of financial changes will make the UK "one of the most prosperous in the world" while also "harnessing British ingenuity to make us a science and tech superpower".
Opening his Budget statement, Mr Hunt said the UK economy was "proving the doubters wrong" and with "stability and sound money" Britain will avoid a technical recession this year.
But Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said the chancellor was "dressing up stagnation as stability", claiming the Budget put the country "on a path of managed decline".
