Throughout the Budget there are key policies that we campaigned for, for example now 880,000 low paid workers will be freed from Income Tax altogether - the first step towards delivering our manifesto commitment to ensure no-one pays tax on the first £10,000 they earn.
Nick Clegg says:
“These measures will ensure that the burden of deficit reduction is shared fairly across society"
"We have had to take difficult decisions to tackle the deficit and lay the foundations of a fairer society. These are not decisions any government wants to take but we have no choice except to clear up the financial mess that Labour left us. Today’s Budget takes these difficult decisions in an honest and fair way and with the clear stamp of Liberal Democrat values running through it."
"clearly reflects many of the tax priorities which won the Liberal Democrats almost seven millions votes at the election.
"As a result of this budget millions of pensioners and those on low incomes will be helped and people with greater wealth will contribute most.
Of course today’s budget required compromise, but the country can clearly see the Liberal Democrats have a major influence on UK economic policy. From now on, Britain will be a fairer place."
