    John,
    I’ve thought about this issue a bit over reecnt months; apart from an across-the-board reduction in personal and corporate taxation that we’d all like to see, do you think that there is merit in advocating further and additional cuts in personal and corporate taxation specifically in the poorer areas of the country (coupled with serious moves to cut the welfare roll and other non-core state spending) as a means to regenerate those areas and move them closer to self-sufficiency?

    Grrr….

    You’re bigging up house price expectations. When people expect them to rise they buy more houses, that pushes demand up and prices up.

    It’s bad enough being subjected to hours of ‘house porn’ on TV without MP’s fuelling the fire!
