As a pensioner I recognise the government view that "we are all in
this together" and I realise that there is nothing in this budget for
pensioners such as myself.
On the other hand exactly how much do you and your cabinet colleagues
stand to gain from the reduction of the top rate of income tax?
I would appreciate an answer to this question because this information
should be in the public domain.
I am sure you agree that MPs are elected to represent the people and
not to line their own pockets.
The argument that the tax cut is part of a package of measures does
not hold water. We are entitled to ask why this self-aggrandising
measure is slipped into the package and whether you can in all
conscience vote for it.
And of course the argument that top earners evade the tax cannot
possibly apply to members of parliament.
Yours sincerely,
Derek McMillan
