Westminster Live: The pre-budget report



Click here to watch Westminster Live's coverage of the pre-budget report

Join Huw Edwards and Diana Madill for live coverage of the chancellor's pre-budget report and a comprehensive analysis of what it all means.

In Westminster, Huw will be joined by a panel of political and financial experts to assess what the pre-budget statement says about the state of the economy and what the impact will be on you.

Diana will be in the West Midlands, to hear from business leaders and workers at the Peugeot plant in Coventry. After the recent job losses in the region, she'll be finding out whether talk of a coming recession is true, and what difference the chancellor's report will make there.

Charles Moore, Editor of the Daily Telegraph, and David Seymour, of The Mirror, will be on hand to give an early indication of how the next day's papers will view the chancellor's statement.

But, most of all, we want to hear your views on the pre-budget report, whether or not the chancellor is doing a good job, and are we heading into a recession?
