LIVE: MPs return to the Commons as Labour given 'stark' Autumn Budget warning by UK business leaders

Live from the House of Commons as Steve Reed, the Housing, Communities and Local Government Secretary, takes questions. Rachel Reeves was today warned not to inflict "death by a thousand taxes" on British business in her Budget. The head of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Rain Newton-Smith said the Government must "change course" and avoid heaping more costs on firms as she scrambles to fill a black hole in the public finances. At the CBI's conference in Westminster, Ms Newton-Smith urged Ms Reeves to stand up to Labour's backbenchers over welfare cuts and prove she was committed to economic growth. Ms Newton-Smith said: "Prove it - against opposition, against short-term politics, be it on welfare, be it pension increases, show the markets you mean business. "Short-term politics leads to a long-term decline, and this country cannot afford another decade of stagnation."
