Budget expectations

From BBC breakfast news:

Help for businesses -

"New companies outside the South East will not have to pay NI for the first ten people they employ."

Because if you're based in the South East you must be loaded, right?

More a case of "because your not loaded you should move out of the south east and make it less crowded and that way we'll spread the wealth around a bit more". It will be gamed around I'm sure.

Exactly what I was thinking. It seems a bizarre idea to me.

Well it doesn't seem too bizarre to me, rather an attempt to improve employment outside of the economic heartland. The problem is, how do you define "the South East". Places like Dorset, Hampshire or Northamptonshire may benefit I suppose. The real hard-hit wastelands like Middlesbrough or Liverpool? Still, be interesting to see how this attempt to "buck the market" pans out.

Yep, the South-East will start at Middlesborough.

Depending on how it is implemented this could be a good move. Right from the start they mentioned moving the emphasis off the South East, which after 30 years of centralisation there could be a Good Thing.

The devil will be in the detail of course.

Hampshire is in the South West no?
