- Personal tax allowance: due to rise to £10,600 next month.

- Pensioners: the five million people who have already bought annuities will be able to sell them; possible cut in tax relief for high earners on their pension pots.

- Tax avoidance and evasion: “Google tax” on multinationals which move profits to low-tax countries; new offence of economic crime – helping people evade tax.

- North Sea oil: tax help for firms to head off job losses.

- Beer: a possible cut in beer duty.

- Petrol: possible freeze in fuel duty.

- Northern Powerhouse: an Oyster-style transport card for the North; electrification of the Selby to Hull line; investment in the chemical sector in the North-east.
