§ I have, Mr. Deputy Speaker, completed the course I charted at the outset this afternoon. I have described the recovery and how the Government plan to sustain it and assist the creation of new jobs. I have reaffirmed our commitment to further reductions in inflation, by maintaining sound money and by curbing Government borrowing. I have embarked on a radical programme of tax reform, abolishing outright two major taxes—the investment income surcharge and the national insurance surcharge—and I have been able to propose measures which will significantly reduce the burden of taxation over the next two years. I commend this Budget to the House.
§ Mr. Deputy SpeakerUnder Standing Order No. 114, the first motion, entitled "Provisional Collection of Taxes", must be decided without debate.
