The support systems seem to works well for young singles and couples with children but there seems to be no help whatsover for working childless singles or couples on low wages. Mortgages / Rent / Council tax / utility bills / tax / NI / food / dentist / pescriptions / all have to be paid in full often leaving little money to enjoy themselves after a hard days work. So where are the incentives to support yourselves and stay childless until you can afford it. If the state supported young people equally maybe there would be a few less teenage pregnancies.0

Allow older people who have had to sell their homes to pay care home fees to have tax relief on this capital. My Mum and many others could be independent of state aid for much longer if they didn't have to pay income tax from converting their home into savings.0

If companies/businesses/Government depts. cannot answer your telephone call it should either give the engaged tone or you should wait in a call queue that DOES NOT CHARGE. Vast amounts are wasted on calls (DirectGov the worst) being told 'your call is being dealt with' when it clearly isn't.0
