    • Reference: 2011/3966
    • Question by: Nicky Gavron
    • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
    Recent evidence reported by the Financial Times ('Hiring fears over 50p tax rate allayed', 24 November 2011) has shown that only 13% of the largest 50 companies believe that the 50p top rate of tax - which you passionately support abolishing - is a barrier to attracting senior managers to Britain. This is down from 80% in 2009. Does this not blow your argument about the removal of this rate out of the water?

    From my analysis, you have asked the government for ten concessionary measures to mitigate the impact of the welfare reform changes; you have obtained only two - the direct payment of Local Housing Allowance to landlords and the nine month delay in implementation of caps. Do you agree with this analysis and if not, why?

    • Meeting date: 14 December 2011
    You have claimed the two mitigation measures you secured will prevent 'people being driven out of their homes in huge numbers'. Even after securing these mitigation measures the GLA still estimates that more than 9,000 London households could have to leave their home. Do you consider this a huge number?
