Proudly presented by Her Majesty's Treasury Office, the 2002 annual budget makes public all the facts and figures of the United Kingdom's financial plan for the year. Accessible as separate HTML files, the reports featured on the Budget 2002 site cover a vast range of topics -- internal, external, domestic, European, and international. Detailing many new programs and increased support for pre-existing ones, the budget reflects a strong commitment to supporting some of Britain's most extensive social programs, in particular universal health care and old age pensions. As points of comparison, the site also features archived versions of previous budgets for the past five years. Equally worthy of note and deserving of study are the Chancellor of the Exchequer's remarks on Britain's relation to the new European monetary unit, the Euro, which many Brits oppose, while others support. User friendly, the site further facilitates access via its search engine, general topics, and FAQs lists.
