Warwickshire Conservative County Councillor backs Lib Dems

Speaking at the small business breakfast in Warwickshire College, Rugby today (27 March 2015) the conservative county councillor for Fosse, Phillip Morris-Jones challenged Tory MP Mark Pawsey to tax the multi-million pound dwellings of millionaires living in the south-east of England.

Richard Allanach, who represented the Liberal Democrats at the event, thanked Cllr Morris-Jones for his support and confirmed that it was indeed Liberal Democrat policy to introduce a Mansion Tax. The Mansion Tax would be collected through the existing Council Tax mechanism and not through setting up an expensive new bureaucracy as the Labour Party wished to do.
