New nuclear and cutting green taxes are the top two priorities Conservative Party members would like to see in tomorrow’s Budget, according to a poll by Conservative Home.
Engineering deals for more nuclear power stations topped the list of Budget priorities for party members, with an average score of 7.72 out of ten.
Cutting green energy taxes and levies was second, with a score of 7.50.
Both priorities were also top of a similar poll the political blog ahead of the Autumn Statement, although they were in reverse order with scores of 7.98 and 7.55.
Conservative Home said that the fact that both issues remain the top two priorities revealed that party members think chancellor George Osborne “still hasn’t done enough to combat rising (always rising) energy prices”.
