LONDON (Reuters) - British finance minister Rishi Sunak will not hold a budget planned for later this year, the political editor of Channel 5 News said on Wednesday.

"Understand there will be no #budget this calendar year," he said on Twitter.

A finance ministry spokesman had no immediate comment on the report.
