What will the Conservatives' pledges cost?
The Conservative Party says its tax cuts and resource spending will result in a cost of £1.38bn in 2020-21 followed by a cost of £164m in 2021-22, but by 2022-23 the measures will save £721m and in 2023-24 the savings will rise to £810m. So over the period of four years, the cumulative effect of the changes is close to zero.
