HC Deb 30 November 1993 vol 233 cc921-41
Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Michael Morris)

Before I call the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it may be for the convenience of hon. Members if I remind them that, at the end of the Chancellor's speech, copies of the Budget resolutions will be available to hon. Members in the Vote Office.

3.35 pm
The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Kenneth Clarke)

A politician presenting his first Budget is rather like a lion tamer trying out his act for the first time, but I have decided to tackle the difficulties I face in a direct way, on the basis of the clear policy objectives that I set myself when I became Chancellor.
