Britain must have a 'grown-up debate' about tax increases to fund public services, Philip Hammond says
Philip Hammond has said that Britain needs to have a "grown-up debate" about whether people are prepared to pay more tax to increase public spending amid a deepening Cabinet split.
The Chancellor said that all voters need to consider the "serious question" of whether they are prepared accept higher taxes to ease austerity after "seven years of hard slog".
In a speech on Monday night he said: "The serious question to the electorate cannot be 'would you like us to tax someone who isn’t you to pay for you to consume more?', but 'would you be willing to pay more tax to consume more public services?'”
His comments are in stark contrast to those of Michael Gove, the Environment Secretary, who said at the weekend that taxpayers should not have to meet the cost of scrapping the public sector pay cap.
Mr Gove and other Cabinet ministers including Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Jeremy Hunt and Justine Greening have signalled that public sector workers such as nurses, teachers and police deserve a pay rise.
