Mr David Cameron

As set out in the Programme for Government, this Government has a long-term plan to a build a new economy, which supports sustainable growth and enterprise. The Employment Allowance was introduced to promote both growth and employment, particularly among small businesses. I have had no discussion with the Electoral Commission on the letter.
