Title : Last British Car Maker Collapses
Extract from briefing :- The IMF has urged the government to curb its public spending if it is to meet Gordon Brown's self imposed golden rule of only borrowing to invest over one economic cycle. The IMF is concerned about the deterioration of the fiscal position, and warned that the government would need to raise taxes to pay for its spending. It believes that Gordon Brown's forecasts of tax revenues are over-optimistic.
