    People on the telephone number salaries affected by these measures are unlikely to be in any danger of having to survive on Pension Credit. I support both Darling and Osborne in trying to limit the tax relief available to people who are already extremely well paid.

    Wasn't it Gordon Brown who substantially increased the amounts that high earners could pay into their pensions. Several years ago it was a max of (I think) 30% of earnings for those over 50 - less for those under 50.
