# Budget Responsibility Act 2024 receives Royal Assent Date: 2024 ## The fact On 10 September 2024 the Budget Responsibility Act 2024 (c. 24) received Royal Assent. The Act imposes duties on the Treasury and the Office for Budget Responsibility in respect of the announcement of fiscally significant measures. [Rachel Reeves](/people/rachel-reeves) was chancellor. ## Context She had introduced the bill as one of the new government’s first fiscal-framework instruments. The OBR remains a neighbouring body. 10 September 2024 Royal Assent. Stored as one 10 September 2024 Fact. Keep Budget Responsibility Act 2024 receives Royal Assent on 2024-09-10 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 24) (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2024/24; legislation.gov.uk). legislation.gov.uk carries the official instrument or communique. HM Treasury / GOV.UK records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is the owned fiscal-rules driver: a completed statute binding fiscally significant announcements to OBR process. ## What is established and what is not Established: The Act received Royal Assent on 10 September 2024. Not established: A unique later borrowing integer as size, or that she writes OBR forecasts. 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 the OBR as a neighbouring body is not a reason to drop 10 September 2024.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Budget Responsibility Act 2024 receives Royal Assent, not a later speech about Budget Responsibility Act 2024 receives Royal Assent. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Budget Responsibility Act 2024 receives Royal Assent on 2024-09-10 is not a licence to treat every later legislation.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 Budget Responsibility Act 2024 receives Royal Assent into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to She took the bill as chancellor. Sharing the OBR as a neighbouring body is not a reason to drop 10 September 2024. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Rachel Reeves: https://factrail.ai/people/rachel-reeves ## Drivers - Reeves fiscal rules: https://factrail.ai/drivers/reeves-fiscal-rules ## Sources - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/autumn-budget-2024 - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2024/24 ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/uk-reeves-budget-responsibility-act-2024
