    "content": "It is not a lot of money, when you think about it, to the economy. In relation to this, we see that in this Finance Bill, prior to conventions and the traditions of the House, Budgets which have been read in previous years have always been such that every single tax measure that was mentioned--- We are always informed of exactly what the Executive is hoping to raise from that tax measure. When the Budget was read in this financial year, we were not told in nuts and bolts how much revenue they are trying to raise. This needs to be clarified when we see the Committee Report prior to the Committee Stage, so that we know how we are balancing. How indebted are we? How much are we going to go into the market to borrow, which will significantly increase the cost of borrowing for this nation and hinder the smooth running of companies?"
