| Message | "This new budget still allows the government to run a surplus and to keep the tax cuts. If the Directory wants the tax cuts to stand, then it must swallow this budget. We cannot allow the government to continue to run in the red." -Horace Perceval, Duke of Lawlborough, Minister of Finance |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
