UK Chancellor Healey to scrap tariffs on marmalade, gherkins in Budget

UK Chancellor John Healey will remove import taxes on marmalade, gherkins and more than 100 other products in Wednesday's Budget, as part of 'everyday fixes' to give families 'breathing space' on living costs. The package also ends the cliff-edge for carer's allowance recipients and makes higher tax-free mileage rates permanent. The Conservatives dismissed the offer as an insult.
