§ I now turn to personal taxation. The House has tackled a very heavy programme of financial legislation over the past twelve months. In order to lighten the load on this year's Finance Bill, I have thought it right to impose a strict order of priorities and accordingly to postpone some measures which in another year I would have regarded as highly desirable. Our programme, set out in the manifesto, is of course the programme for a Parliament. The measures which I announce today will represent a further instalment of that programme—and a further positive contribution to our ambition, on this side of the House, of creating a more just society.
