  3. More funding for diplomatspublished at 13:43 British Summer Time 4 September 2019

    "For too long we've let those trading relationships [with the EU] wither," Mr Javid said.

    As he did, he confirmed the government would increase spending for UK embassies around the world and a campaign to promote trade with the UK that was announced at the weekend.

  4. £422m for Defrapublished at 13:41 British Summer Time 4 September 2019

    On the environment, Mr Javid announced more cash for tackling climate change and air pollution.

    The chancellor said: "A healthy environment is a precondition for a healthy population."

    He committed £422m to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to push ahead with creating "world leading environmental standards" once Britain has left the European Union.

    Another £30m of "new money" was set aside for tackling "the crisis in our air quality" and £30m for biodiversity, including widening the Blue Belt Programme.

    The scheme currently protects marine creatures such as turtles, whales and seabirds.

    He also confirmed new funding to help the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to meet the Government's commitment to a net-zero carbon economy by 2050 but did not announce the exact amount involved.

  5. How generous are the education spending pledges?published at 13:40 British Summer Time 4 September 2019

    Reality Check

    By increasing school budgets by £7.1bn by 2022-23, the government will have pretty much reversed the 8% cuts to per-pupil spending seen since 2009-10, according to the Institute of Fiscal Studies.

    But this means that their budgets have been effectively frozen for over a decade.

    This compares to the average annual increases of around 5% between 2000-01 and 2009-10 under Labour.

    Separately, the £400m announced for 16-19 education next year does not reverse the 8% per pupil cuts they’ve seen, but it is a significant increase.

    The IFS estimated that £640m was needed in 2021-22 to reverse these cuts.

  6. £3.6bn for new towns fundpublished at 13:39 British Summer Time 4 September 2019

    Mr Javid announced £3.6bn for the new towns fund that will be put into local communities.

    "We've already allocated a total of £13bn across the North," he said and promised to set out new details in the autumn.

  8. Three year settlement for schoolspublished at 13:38 British Summer Time 4 September 2019

    Reality Check

    The government had already given the three-year resource figure for schools.

    It was an extra £2.6bn next year, 4.8bn the following year and £7.1bn in 2022-23.

    At the time they added those up to make a £14bn increase, although it would usually be referred to as a £7.1bn increase.

  10. Fastest rise in 15 yearspublished at 13:34 British Summer Time 4 September 2019

    Front bench

    The Chancellor confirmed 4.1% rise in public spending, calling it the "fastest increase in day-to-day spending in 15 years".

    He said: "Next year I will add £13.4 billion to total public spending including £1.7 billion added for capital spending.

    "These extra funds take the real increase in day-to-day spending to £13.8 billion or 4.1%.

    "That means I'm delivering the fastest increase in day-to-day spending in 15 years."

  12. 2,000 new police by Aprilpublished at 13:32 British Summer Time 4 September 2019

    "And today I can announce, Mr Speaker, a 6.3% real terms increase in Home Office spending, the biggest increase in 15 years," Mr Javid said.

    "That means £750m to fund the first year of our plan to recruit 20,000 new police officers, with an extra £45m this year so that recruitment can start immediately, getting the first 2,000 police officers in place by the end of March."

  13. Boosting police officer numberspublished at 13:31 British Summer Time 4 September 2019

    Reality Check

    Chart showing police numbers

    £750m has been allocated to the first year of the plan to increase police numbers by 20,000 by 2022.

    That would take the total number of police officers in England and Wales to 143,000.

    Since 2010, police numbers have fallen by 20,500 – so this would more or less fill the gap.
