Cabinet concerns over Commonwealth finances deficit risk
Cabinet warns of a deficit of 1 808 000 pounds for eight months of the financial year with potential for 1 500 000 pounds annual shortfall if customs and excise revenue do not improve in four months. Treasury figures show customs and excise may yield 14 300 000 pounds next four months, far below the 43 000 000 estimated. Government fears pre-election budget plans could be jeopardised as prospects of surplus fade and expenditure may exceed 61 500 000 pounds with receipts not surpassing 80 000 000 pounds for the year.
