The Budget and You? Worried or relaxed?

As the Budget is announced, Nihal asks if you are scared about your financial future, plus he chats to director Stephen Fingleton about his short film Shirin.

Are you scared about your financial future?

George Osborne is currently speaking in the House of Commons telling us how much we'll be taxed, how much we receive in benefits and what areas will be cut or boosted in the next financial year.

But what we want to know is how you feel about the future? What are you doing to make sure you are financially secure? Have you scaled back on weddings, property, having large families? Have you changed even how much you spend on essentials? Are you buying the value and basic ranges in the supermarket rather than the top brand of rice or flour? Are you even worried whether you can afford to send your kids to University?

After 2, Nihal chats to director Stephen Fingleton about his short film 'Shirin' which deals with honour crime in the Kurdish community. And later in the hour, Safia Qureshi from Ladoo Productions talks about their new play 'Meri Neighbour' that looks at Asian families living in close knit Asian areas. Actress Sandeep Garcha who plays Balli, in the play also joins Nihal in studio.
