Voice of the UK

Available for over a year

The Chancellor John Healey is removing import taxes on marmalade, gherkins and more than 100 other products, saying it's about giving families "breathing space" to help with the cost of living. Combined with previously announced tariff suspensions, the government says it could save households £21 a year. The Tories say it's an insult, in the face of inflation and tax pressures. Nicky Campbell asked 5 Live listeners: Will the government's 'everyday fixes' plan work for you?
