A post Budget breakfast with Rt Hon Stephen Timms MP, Financial Secretary to the Treasury

Hosted by the City of London Corporation
Livery Hall, Guildhall

In the face of recession can the Treasury safeguard the future of the City and ensure the revival of our regional cities? This post Budget breakfast will debate whether the 2009 Budget will deliver the additional resources needed by Britain's cities in tough times. How can national and city government help protect businesses and jobs during the recession - and continue to invest in local infrastructure and support growth sectors?

Following the 2009 Budget announcement on 22 April, Rt Hon Stephen Timms MP, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, will join Stuart Fraser, City of London Corporation, Stephen Alambritis, Federation of Small Businesses, and Dermot Finch, Centre for Cities, to discuss its implications for UK cities in the uncertain year ahead.
