PLEA FOR £6bn
BUDGET JOBS BOOST
Wales TUC leaders have urged Mr Nigel
Lawson to put a £6bn spending boost
into his Budget to stop mounting
unemployment.
A small increase in inflation would be
a "fair and acceptable price to pay"
for reversing the trend, it says.
A record 190,000 people are now on the
dole in Wales, nearly 18% and the wgrst
figure since the 1930s.
It says the extra spending could be
offset by bringing back the investment
income surcharge and upping corporation
and capital gains taxes.
