UK says reversing ‘almost all’ budget measures

Published by

Britain’s new finance minister, Jeremy Hunt, on Monday reversed “almost all” tax-cutting measures unveiled in last month’s budget after they rocked markets.

“We will reverse almost all the tax measures announced… three weeks ago,” Hunt said in a televised statement, conceding last month’s budget from his predecessor had harmed public finances.
