It's just another example of how governments fritter away taxpayers' money. I can think of no sensible reason why people who save in a particular type of savings account, which is already tax free, should be topped up at all.

Or is it just that the government wants to stuff the pockets of house builders, whilst stoking house price inflation?

When will these self-serving, self-selected demagogues learn that it's not their money but the British people's before they squander it?
