John Healey will remove import taxes on marmalade, gherkins and more than 100 products in a bid to give families "breathing space" with the cost of living at the Budget.

The chancellor on Wednesday will promise a fresh series of "everyday fixes" to ease the pressure on households.

The measures will also include an end to the so-called cliff-edge for those receiving carer's allowance payments and higher tax-free mileage rates being made permanent.
