Sir, - Tim Callan of the ESRI claims (December 12th) that the recent Budget is "highly progressive". I wonder.
A person earning £10,000 will take home 4 per cent, or £400, more than before, while someone earning £100,000 will have £600 more.
That does nothing to narrow the income gap, as most people would expect a genuinely progressive budget to do. - Yours, etc.
