The long-awaited Pre-Budget Report could be expected next week.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown is to fuel further talk of possible tax cuts by saying they could help to support consumer spending. Speaking in London today, the PM said he was looking "at everything" that could help the economy and would announce details within days.

According to the BBC's Nick Robinson, Mr Brown has been dropping hints that he would be prepared to borrow more to fund tax cuts but that nothing was certain until the details were confirmed.

Asked about possible tax cuts, Mr Brown said petrol duty had been frozen and people were already getting £120 back in their income tax - the government raised the personal tax allowance following the 10p tax row.
