5 Questions for David Cameron

October 27, 2008 12:00 AM

As David Cameron visits Sutton and Cheam, local Liberal Democrat MP Paul Burstow challenges him to answer the following five questions:

1. How does he justify policies that include tax cuts for millionaires and not local families?

2. Does he support donations from Russian oligarchs or Belizean billionaires - one of whom helps to fund the Conservatives?

3. How does he propose helping with local children's education if he will not pledge extra funds for those from disadvantaged backgrounds?

4. What will he do to help our pensioners, children and unemployed after the mess his party made whilst is Government by breaking the link between pensions and earnings, devaluing child benefit for second children and freezing Jobseekers Allowance?

5. Why are the Conservatives identified by Friends of the Earth as the dirtiest political party in Europe?

Paul Burstow added:

"Cameron claims he wants to talk 'direct' to people, but in reality he is totally out of touch with the real problems that local residents are facing.

"Every day I hear from constituents about the financial difficulties they are experiencing, especially in recent months. But all Cameron's Conservatives want to do is give tax rebates to the rich.

"Only the Liberal Democrats have fully costed plans which will cut taxes for those families most in need. All the Tories have are empty promise."

    If you are a resident of the Sutton and Cheam constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
