Chancellor Sajid Javid has quit just four weeks before he was due to deliver the first post-Election Budget on 11 March.

Pensions veteran Steve Cameron, pensions director at Aegon, has joined the chorus of experts warning the government against scaling back pension tax relief for high earners in the Budget.

Chancellor Sajid Javid will unveil a Budget on 6 November, a few days after the UK is due to leave the European Union.
