　　When we came tooffice, our economy was on its knees.

　　Three and a halfyears later, we are turning a corner.

　　We see it in thebusinesses that are opening up, the people who are getting decent jobs,thefactories that are making British goods and selling them to the world again.

　　The plan isworking.

　　That’s why thisyear, 2014, we are not just going to stick to the plan – we are goingtoredouble our efforts to deliver every part of it, to benefit the whole countryand secure abetter future for everyone.

　　We’ll continuewith the vital work on the deficit.

　　We’ve reduced itby a third already, and this year we will continue that difficult work,tosafeguard our economy for the long-term, to keep mortgage rates low and to helpfamiliesacross Britain.

　　We’re going tokeep on doing everything possible to help hardworking people feelfinanciallysecure, cutting income taxes and freezing fuel duty.

　　We’ll keep onworking even harder to create more jobs, whether that’s through investmentinour roads and railways, lower jobs taxes, or more help for Britain’s amazingsmall businesses.

　　Those who run oursmall businesses are heroes and heroines, they are the backbone of oureconomyand we are supporting them every step of the way.

　　We are going tokeep on with our vital work on welfare and immigration too.

　　We’ve alreadycapped welfare and cut immigration, and this year, we’ll carry on buildinganeconomy for people who work hard and play by the rules.

　　And last but notleast – we’re going to keep on delivering the best schools and skills forourchildren and young people, so that when they leave education they have a realchance to geton in life.

　　So this is a vitalyear for our economy.

　　And 2014 is alsoan important date in the history of the United Kingdom.

　　The outcomematters to all of us, wherever we live in the UK.
