 Conservative leader David Cameron plans to slash public spending in 2009/10 by £5bn to help savers and pensioners recover from the recession.
Under the proposals, the income tax on savings by basic-rate taxpayers would be abolished, and pensioners' tax allowance will be increased by £2,000.
The cut in public spending is equivalent to the efficiency savings that the Labour Government has earmarked for 2010/11, but Mr Cameron believes "the time to start being prudent is right now".
