For starters let me say that you were correct in assuming I was thinking in terms of Public Money.
Secondly, as I assume you will agree, it is sensible to accept the views of the "experts" ie: the above mentioned ABI. This you did. What a pity that Gordon Brown didn`t take the the "experts" advice 10 years ago.
Now what about the serious and damaging consequences as applied to the current batch of victims ? Can I assume that Public Money, which seems to readily available when you lot ( ie: the Right Honourable members at the Palace of Westminster ) want a rise, will be used ?
