Chancellor Philip Hammond has indicated he will manage the public finances in a different way to his predecessor, George Osborne.
Mr Hammond told the Today programme's Nick Robinson the UK's deficit was still "eye-wateringly large" and he had to keep down day-to-day spending but there would be "specific, targeted investment".
Today's session at the Conservative conference will begin in a few minutes' time.
Speeches are expected from Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Secretary Greg Clark, Communities and Local Government Secetary Sajid Javid and Transport Secretary Chris Grayling - before Chancellor Philip Hammond makes his keynote speech to the party.
Andrew Neil presents an extended Daily Politics live from Birmingham with live coverage of Philip Hammond's first speech to the Conservative Party conference as chancellor.
Other guests will include Matt Hancock, David Willetts, Bernard Jenkin and David Gauke, plus a reaction from Labour.

Senior Conservative MP Andrew Mitchell says countries are "learning that free trade is the answer".
The former international development secretary says the UK will "catch the tide" of that during Brexit negotiations.
Prime Minister Theresa May hopes her announcement on triggering Article 50 will deal with Brexit on day one, so the conference can get on to talk about other matters.
Sunday Politics reporter Ellie Price caught up with Heidi Allen and Dominic Raab - both from different sides of the party - as they got ready for conference, to see what issues they think lie in store for Mrs May.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has led applause for Theresa May’s pledge to trigger the UK’s exit from the EU by the end of March 2017.
Mr Johnson and Justice Minister Dominic Raab, who both campaigned for a Leave vote, gave Nick Robinson their reaction to Mrs May’s Conservative Party conference speech.
The Guardian
"May on collision course with Conservative backbenchers over hard Brexit," is the Guardian's view, external of the PM's declaration that the process of leaving the EU will begin by March next year.
"She has placed herself at loggerheads with a number of Conservative backbenchers who want the government to pursue a soft Brexit and think there should be a vote prior to Article 50," its article says.
"Dominic Grieve, the former attorney general, told the Guardian that he believed strongly that Parliament ought to have such a role. He admitted that MPs could not disregard the 'advisory' vote but said: 'The danger of such an approach is if you undermine the convention in this way you set a very bad precedent. Government is embarking on a difficult and extensive exercise and to do it without the support of Parliament is a mistaken approach.'
"Anna Soubry, the former Tory business minister, argued that May should be wary of being 'gung-ho' on Article 50 and said the EU held 'most of the cards in negotiations'. She said Britain should be pressing for a deal that keeps the country in the single market."
Image source, ETX CapitalThe FTSE 100 index is off to a strong start, rising 54 points to 6,953 in the opening hour.
Analysts said London's blue chip index is being boosted by the fall in the pound, as many of the firms in the FTSE 100 make money in other currencies.
Shares in mining firm Anglo American, oil giant Royal Dutch Shell and global asset manager Schroders are all more than 2% higher.
The FTSE 250, which is seen as a better barometer of UK business than the more global 100, is 132 points higher at 18,007 points.
The Sun
The Sun is enthusiastic about Theresa May's first speech to a Conservative conference as PM saying she used it to "slap down those who want to block or delay Brexit as she fleshed out her plans for Britain to leave the EU".
The paper adds: "In her bold declaration as leader of the Tory Party, she slammed Brexit opponents for 'insulting the intelligence of the British people' as she confirmed that Britain will leave the European Union 'by April 2019'."
But the Sun also claims that Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson "took the chance to rest his eyes" during Mrs May's speech:
Quote MessageIt all got a bit too much for Britain's Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson as he was caught on camera dozing off."
"Theresa May faces Tory backlash after signalling a move toward hard Brexit," writes the Independent, external.
"Theresa May is risking a new Tory war over Europe after she wrenched open party divisions by signalling she backs a hard Brexit with controls on immigration at its core," the online newspaper says.
"Within hours several MPs and two former cabinet ministers had rounded on the prime minister, while a senior peer warned of a revolt in the Lords.
"A group of around 80 pro-EU Tories also met at a fringe event vowing to be the 'resistance' against what was branded the 'total abandonment and total recklessness' of a hard Brexit."
A number of the papers have reacted to Theresa May's announcement on Sunday that the UK will begin the formal Brexit negotiation process by the end of March 2017.
"Brexit begins," declares the Telegraph, external. "Britain must look beyond Europe for economic success, the prime minister said on Sunday as she suggested there would be no deal on immigration to keep the UK in the single market.
"Setting out her first detailed blueprint for Brexit, Theresa May said that the UK would become 'truly global' as she listed eight nations including China, India and Singapore prepared to sign major free trade deals with the UK.
"Addressing Conservative conference on Sunday for the first time since becoming Prime Minister, Mrs May made clear that border controls are a red line in the Brexit negotiations, saying that 'we are not leaving the European Union only to give up control of immigration again'."
