英国财政大臣约翰·希利周三表示，预算案包括为英格兰2000万户家庭提供100英镑（133美元）的冬季能源补贴，以及向乌克兰提供100亿英镑（133亿美元）的额外支持。
Budget includes winter energy payments, higher bank taxes, plans to meet NATO defense spending commitments Kyiv welcomes additional financial, military support The UK announced a £100 ($133) winter energy payment for 20 million households in England and £10 billion ($13.3 billion) in additional support for Ukraine, Treasury chief John Healey said Wednesday.
这些措施是希利首份预算案的一部分，预算案还包括银行税制、地方政府融资和国防开支方面的调整。
The measures form part of Healey's first budget, which also includes changes to bank taxation, local government financing and defense spending.
能源补贴将面向市政税等级为A至D的家庭，这些等级通常涵盖价值较低的住宅物业。
The energy payment will be available to households in council tax bands A to D, which generally cover lower-value residential properties.
此外，还将向苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰的权力下放政府拨款，以推出类似的支持措施。
Funding will also be allocated to the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to introduce similar support.
希利宣布了增强地方当局和地区市长财政权力的措施，并将“财政权力下放”描述为其预算计划的关键部分。
Healey announced measures to increase financial powers for local authorities and regional mayors, describing "fiscal devolution" as a key part of his budget plans.
根据这些提案，地方当局将在本十年末保留本地征收的商业税率，而市长们将从2028年起获得一部分所得税收入。
Under the proposals, local authorities will retain business rates locally by the end of the decade, while mayors will receive a share of income tax revenue from 2028.
政府还确认，18至20岁工人的最低工资将提高3.9%，年轻工人的涨幅小于其他年龄组。
The government also confirmed a 3.9% increase in the minimum wage for workers aged 18 to 20, with a smaller increase for younger workers than for other age groups.
预算案还包括将银行附加税——银行缴纳的一项税款——再提高3%，希利称其为“有时间限制的”措施。这一增幅小于此前预期。
The budget includes an additional 3% on the bank surcharge, a tax paid by banks, which Healey described as "time-limited." The increase is smaller than previously expected.
国防与对乌援助 在国防方面，希利表示，英国的国防预算比保守党政府执政最后一年高出140亿英镑。
Defense and aid for Ukraine Turning to defense, Healey said the UK's defense budget was £14 billion higher than in the final year of the Conservative government.
他说，政府将在明年的支出审查中说明计划如何兑现英国对北约的承诺，即到2035年将国防开支提高到国内生产总值的3.5%。
He said the government would set out in next year's spending review how it plans to meet the UK's NATO commitment to spend 3.5% of gross domestic product on defense by 2035.
一个新的国防财政工作组将研究实现这一目标的方法，同时政府将寻求增加对国防的私人投资，包括通过公私合作模式。
A new defense finance task force will examine ways to achieve the target, while the government will seek to increase private investment in defense, including through public-private partnerships.
关于乌克兰，希利在当天早些时候与乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基通电话后，宣布了100亿英镑的额外经济和军事支持。
On Ukraine, Healey announced £10 billion in additional economic and military support following a telephone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier in the day.
希利表示，他和英国首相安迪·伯纳姆在通话中向泽连斯基通报了这一支持方案。“他说，‘你们让我开心了，’”希利说。该方案包括今年冬天为乌克兰提供的5亿英镑紧急军事资金。
Healey said he and UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham informed Zelenskyy of the support package during the call. "He told us 'you've made my day,'" Healey said. The package includes £500 million in urgent military funding for Ukraine this winter.
英国财政大臣表示，英国将与乌克兰站在一起，“无论需要多长时间”。
Britain will stand with Ukraine "as long as it takes," the UK Treasury chief said.
泽连斯基欢迎额外支持 泽连斯基欢迎这一宣布，并表示援助方案包括未来三年为基辅提供的70亿英镑经济支持，以及另外30亿英镑的英国出口支持。
Zelenskyy welcomes additional support Zelenskyy welcomed the announcement and said that the aid package included £7 billion in economic support for Kyiv over the next three years and another £3 billion in British export support.
在对美国社交媒体公司X发布的声明中，泽连斯基将他与伯纳姆的电话通话描述为“很好”。他表示，出口支持将“主要用于供应急需的武器，以加强我们对生命的保护”。泽连斯基表示，这笔额外资金与伦敦已经向乌克兰提供的年度援助是分开的。
In a statement on US social media company X, Zelenskyy described his phone call with Burnham as "great." He said the export support would be allocated "primarily for the supply of much-needed weapons that will strengthen our protection of lives." Zelenskyy said the additional funding was separate from the annual assistance London already provides to Ukraine.
他将这一决定描述为“真正强有力”和“非常及时”的一步，这一步是在“俄罗斯需要看到并感受到乌克兰不会被独自留下去处理俄罗斯如此渴望升级的问题之时”采取的。“每一步加强乌克兰的举措，都让俄罗斯更接近认识到，它必须结束这场自己制造的战争，”泽连斯基说。他补充说，他和伯纳姆还讨论了制裁政策。
He described the decision as a "truly strong" and "very timely" step that came "right as Russia needs to see and feel that Ukraine will not be left alone to deal with the problems Russia is so eager to escalate." "Every step to strengthen Ukraine brings Russia closer to realizing that it must end this war of its own making," Zelenskyy said. He added that he and Burnham also discussed sanctions policy.
“我感谢英国，感谢首相安迪·伯纳姆及其团队，以及感谢世界上每一个理解支持乌克兰是正确之举的人——这意味着站在历史正确的一边，”他说。
"I am grateful to Britain, to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and his team, and to every person around the world who understands that standing with Ukraine is the right thing to do – that it means being on the right side of history," he said.
