Room. Next. At 9 01, im Polly Middlehurst in the gb newsroom. And our top story tonight. All eyes were on the chancellor today as he delivered his Spring Budget. He cut personal taxes to the lowest level in nearly 50 years, with another £0. 02 in the pound cut in National Insurance being the centrepiece of his pre election budget. But figures suggest expected rises in council tax will wipe out any benefits felt by households. Speaking after his statement in the commons today, jeremy hunt said his budget marks a big reduction in the tax bill for ordinary families. What you see is that after a four percentage point cut in National Insurance, there is a big reduction in the tax bill for ordinary families, and that is because the economy has turned a corner. Weve stuck to the plan. We have the forecasts are much more optimistic for the economy going forward. And as conservatives, forward.

Good evening. From the newsroom. Im sam francis, a quick look at the headlines. At just after 9 00, government ministers are challenging labour to set out its own funding plans after it backed the governments decision to cut National Insurance. The non dom tax status will be scrapped with the aim of raising revenue to make up for the £0. 02 cut, though figures suggest any benefits for the taxpayer are likely to be cancelled out by an expected rise in council tax. Earlier, jeremy hunt told gb news that his budget is proof that the government, he says, is making their fiscal plan work. We want to end the unfairness, the direction of travel weve gone is to reduce National Insurance by one third.
