From the Paper:

"With the exception of two brief periods (1970 and 1988/9), the British government has had a budget deficit since the advent of the Second World War - it was spending more than it was raising taxation. In the mid-1970s the budget deficit was at one time around 8 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), and in 1993/4 the budget was again in deficit by more than 7 per cent of GDP9. It should be mentioned, that these deficits increase the national debt and more often and not this debt will exert pressures on the economy as a whole and not just on business profitability, as the debt will have to be paid back by the government with interest and to this, it must raise the level of taxation."
