<p><p>The Conservative Party plans to cut central government spending on public services outside the NHS, defence and overseas aid by £6 billion in the coming financial year in order to finance a cut in National Insurance that would offset most of the impending increase that the Government has already announced. </p><p><b>Please note:</b> The new (employees') Primary Threshold has been corrected (it had incorrectly stated around £8,200 in the previous version rather than £8,400). The underlying analysis of the proposed NI reforms used the correct level of the Primary Threshold, and is therefore unaffected.</p></p>
