LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Wednesday he strongly believed in low taxes as the best way forward for the British economy.

"I strongly believe in a low-tax government, and I'm a low-tax Conservative. I think that's the best way forward for our country," Johnson told a parliamentary committee.
