The Programme for Government sets out clearly the Government's guiding economic and fiscal principles for the next five years. We are fully committed to a responsible fiscal policy, including keeping the budget in broad balance. Updates of the economic and fiscal projections for the 2007-2009 period presented in Budget 2007 will be presented in my Department's next Pre-Budget Outlook, to be published this Autumn. These updates will take account of all relevant circumstances.
