# Reeves presents Autumn Budget 2024

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 30 October 2024 [HM Treasury](/organizations/econ-org-uk-hm-treasury) published the Autumn Budget [Rachel Reeves](/people/rachel-reeves) presented to Parliament. The paper sets tax, welfare, and spending decisions with OBR-certified costings.

## Context

She was chancellor. Hunt is unresolved. The £22 billion hole is not stored as Contribution.size.

30 October 2024 Budget paper. Stored as one 30 October 2024 Fact. Keep Reeves presents Autumn Budget 2024 on 2024-10-30 separate from neighbouring 5 July 2024 appointment, 29 July Winter Fuel announcement, 10 September Budget Responsibility Act, 16 September SI 2024/869, and 30 October 2024 Autumn Budget.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer can present a Budget, take a bill through the Commons, and announce a transfer change to Parliament. She does not sit as DWP’s laying officer on every SI, as the OBR, or as the previous chancellor. A 29 July announcement is not authorship of every later HMRC recovery. Sharing a cabinet with Keir Starmer is not a reason to drop SI 2024/869.

## Evidence and sources

HM Treasury / GOV.UK carries the official instrument or communique. House of Commons Library records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is the owned fiscal-rules driver: a completed Autumn Budget under the new Act and after the Winter Fuel SI.

## What is established and what is not

Established: HM Treasury published the Autumn Budget she presented on 30 October 2024.

Not established: A unique £22 billion hole as size, or a unique later Finance Act integer.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Sharing OBR costings is not a reason to drop 30 October 2024.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Reeves presents Autumn Budget 2024, not a later speech about Reeves presents Autumn Budget 2024.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Reeves presents Autumn Budget 2024 on 2024-10-30 is not a licence to treat every later HM Treasury / GOV.UK communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Reeves presents Autumn Budget 2024 into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to She presented the Budget as chancellor. Sharing OBR costings is not a reason to drop 30 October 2024. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
