1317: A welfare cap will be applied from April 2015, the chancellor says, and it will be set every year in the Budget.
1317: The state pension will not be included in the welfare cap, Mr Osborne adds.
1319: The chancellor says winter fuel payments to people living abroad will be changed in autumn 2015. They will be linked to a "temperature test", removing them from people living in hot countries.

1324: The Museums Association says the 10% cut to local government funding will impact negatively on services. Director Mark Taylor said: "Predictably, local government is low down the food chain and we know that local government museums or independent museums supported by them are way down the local government food chain. The result can only be less museums, opening less and providing less services."
