HC Deb 03 April 1963 vol 675 c494

In total, the changes in taxation I have announced will reduce revenue receipts by £269 million in 1963–64. Before Budget changes the accounts, as I have explained, show a surplus above the line of £179 million. The tax changes which I propose will, therefore, convert this into a deficit of £90 million. The net borrowing requirement will be increased from £418 million to £687 million.
