Inside Westminster

Abstract

Autumn PT cuts will yo‐yo car prices MPs have come to expect Autumn mini‐budgets under both Tory and Labour Government and the Chancellor is unlikely to disappoint them this year. After the 1971 and 1972 give‐away Spring budgets, cynics might be forgiven for thinking that Tony Barber has little left to hand out. Not so; in fact, speculation is growing both at Westminster and in the City that Barber will act in October or November to cut still further the 25% purchase tax rate which came in at midnight on March 21.
