Commenting on the Chancellor’s Budget, Nick Bourne AM, Leader of the Welsh Conservatives in the National Assembly, said:
“This Budget is a further step on the road to dealing with the massive debts built up by the previous Labour Government.
“By cutting Corporation Tax, simplifying the tax system and reducing the burden of regulation on businesses, the UK Coalition is showing clearly that Wales and the rest of the UK are open for business.
“Today’s budget will provide welcome relief to families, pensioners and small businesses across Wales, who have had to tighten their belts to meet rising fuel prices.
“This is a budget for stability, for jobs and for growth.”
