Ah, but you will note that this programme is actually from after the speech, hence Dermot announcing all the measures at the start of the programme. That was one of the years when they didn't do it live but, as I say, did an extended teatime news with Budget branding.
They'd certainly started doing it again when the news moved to 6.30 in 1999, I remember it was the second day of the new schedule.
Was it in 1997 or so when ITV temporarily stopped have a separate Budget programme? They definitely had a separate programme in 1996, using the rather interesting remix of the main news theme.
