Budget 2008 special report

This may be the first full Budget statement that Alistair Darling has made to the House of Commons, but with pressure mounting on him over the Northern Rock fiasco and widespread criticism of some of the measures introduced in last year's pre-Budget report, he could struggle to make it to his second.

The chancellor attempted to appease non-doms, postponed changes for family and raised £1.7bn from closing down tax loopholes.
