The continuing bad weather in Britain might have an interesting effect. Bad weather tends to lower production - people don't make it into work, logistics get fouled up - and it seems not unlikely that this might tip the economy back into negative growth for the first quarter. The announcement of the figures should be in the third week in April. Gordon might want to go to the country before the news comes out.
April 1st, which is what I would favour, is both Maundy Thursday and the Feast of All Fools, and it seems that even our accident prone Prime Minister might wish to avoid that. But April 8th?
You can still get decent odds at Ladbrokes
