The possibility of a slight surplus in he Budget was revealed today by the Minister of Finance, Mr Nash. The Minister said income tax was expected to produce a little less than the Budget estimate of £9.500,500, but revenue from Customs duty, sales tax and beer duty was likely to exceed the estimates. Mr Nash said he did not consider the effects of the import control system would be apparent to any considerable extent in the current quarter.
