Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander also declined to deny that the Chancellor is planning a pay-per-mile scheme for electric vehicles, even as she boosts a grant that cuts upfront costs for buyers.

Speaker of the House Lindsay Hoyle has criticised what he called the “hokey cokey” Budget and called out ministers for leaking key announcements ahead of Wednesday.
