Page 439: Brown’s budget (his last)

Andrew Rawnsley:

“In the New Year, he returned to the idea…The officials again cautioned that abolishing the 10p band would create many losers. Livermore maintained his opposition. Balls, a much more powerful figure at the court of Brown now flipped in support”

(Interviews, Treasury officials)

(The End of the Party).

A very squalid business indeed as Luke rigtly points out. Sadly, by no means the only example!
