The Conservatives are working to a long-term economic plan that will secure a healthier economy and a better and brighter future for Britain, and for future generations.

Thanks to the ongoing sacrifices and determination of the British people, our country is starting to recover after tough economic times. But the job is not done. We must continue to take careful and difficult decisions to help build a better Britain – one that rewards those who have put in, who contribute and who play by the rules.

This way we can deliver a brighter future for our country and hardworking taxpayers – with Britain standing tall in the world again and with its people more secure at home.

Our long-term economic plan:

1. Reducing the deficit so we deal with our debts, safeguard our economy for the long term and keep mortgage rates low

2. Cutting income taxes and freezing fuel duty to help hardworking people be more financially secure

3. Creating more jobs by backing small business and enterprise with better infrastructure and lower jobs taxes

4. Capping welfare and reducing immigration so our economy delivers for people who want to work hard and play by the rules
