Spending cuts

Asked if the Prime Minister agreed with the Deputy Prime Minister’s comments about giving emergency support to areas that were likely to be effected by spending cuts, the PMS said that the Prime Minister supported what the Deputy Prime Minister said; there was clearly an issue with some regions of the UK being more dependent on public sector jobs at the present time than others. The point that the Deputy Prime Minister had been making was that we needed to think about that issue within the wider context of the Spending Review.

Asked if the Prime Minister agreed with the Deputy Prime Minister that indexation/taper relief needed to be looked at in regards to Capital Gains Tax (CGT), the PMS said that the Prime Minister had said that in regards to CGT people needed to wait until the Budget, but he wanted to look at how we could ensure that the CGT system encouraged business and entrepreneurs.

  1. Dear Prime minister,
    As a working wife and mother, i believe that all these young people having babies, should be slowed down.My idea is that under the age of 21 if your child is expecting a child and living at home that the parents should take care off them.
    And make both parents be named on the birth certifcate, enabling to father to pay half his unemployment benefit to the mother, no more hand outs of council property with rent free.
    This would make people think about having a child.

    Second idea is the mobility. This car is only to transport the disabled person not as a family run about. Don’t give these people a choice of cars. One small car all the same in colour, making other drivers aware that they are disabled.

    Third idea.Every time u get of a motorway anywhere in the country there’s rubbish! Two may three days a week the unemployed could be collecting this rubbish.
