EAST Hampshire MP Damian Hinds has described the Chancellor's summer budget as one "to help working people".

In a statement, Mr Hinds says it is a "big, bold, reforming budget that sets out the Government's plan for creating the stable and prosperous Britain that its hard-working people deserve and, importantly, it includes key measures that will deliver tangible benefit for the people of East Hampshire".
