49% : Ms Truss argues that cutting taxes will raise revenue in the long term, in part by encouraging more businesses to invest in the UK.
43% : She also confirmed her government would present an emergency budget within a month that would set out how it plans to cut taxes.
37% : Lord Hammond said that while the Conservative party supported low taxes "in the short term, we have to be pragmatic and cutting taxes at a time when we have a huge deficit, £160 billion probably this year of Government borrowing, when inflation is the major problem we have to tackle, is simply not the answer."
