I propose to take Questions Nos. 53 and 60 together.

The position is as stated in the Programme for Government that as part of the Government’s fiscal strategy we will maintain the current rates of income tax together with bands and credits. In addition, we will not increase the top marginal rates of taxes on income. There are no plans at this time to depart from this policy.
