The Chancellor delivers the final Spring Budget with extra help for social care and small businesses.

Tony Livesey and Anna Foster with the day's news and sport. We're at Westminster as Philip Hammond delivers his first and last Spring Budget saying it is for 'ordinary working people' - announcing extra funds for social care, support for small businesses and changes to National Insurance contributions for the self-employed. Jeremy Corbyn labels it a budget of 'utter complacency' - criticising the lack of support for working families, public sector staff and the NHS. We hear from the main parties and reflect on the budget with a panel of female listeners.
