Updated on 25 November 2008

Channel 4 News discusses the pre-budget report and its emergency measures with Alistair Darling.

He did not rule out another fiscal stimulus before the next general election.

Mr Darling insists the increase in national insurance contributions will not mean anybody earning less than £40,000 per year will pay any more.

He revealed he is trying to reduce borrowing at a steady rate and those on high incomes will be made to contribute more.
