Sajid Javid: In any budget there are 'winners and losers'

The Business Secretary Sajid Javid has said Wednesday's budget "was not a regressive budget."

Speaking on the 成人论坛's Andrew Marr programme he insisted the richest would make the biggest contribution and said the introduction of the National Living Wage would benefit everyone.
