The new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has confirmed he will scrap plans to cut 1p from the basic rate of Income Tax.
The ex-Health Secretary this morning announced another U-turn on the disastrous Mini-Budget, in a bid to plug a giant hole in the public finances and restore market confidence.
The 1p cut to Income Tax was first announced by Rishi Sunak in March this year, with a view of it being put in place in 2024.
