This Commentary examines the government’s fiscal plans for the 2015–20 Parliament, and theoretical and practical issues raised by the new fiscal framework. It does not analyse the short-term macroeconomic impacts of the changes to the fiscal stance, which are discussed in the chapter on the prospects for the UK economy elsewhere in this Review.
