Tax cut: it could be happening

From the start of the coalition, I've been arguing that the Liberal Democrat manifesto proposal to take the first £10,000 of earnings out of tax should be put into effect soonest rather than spread over the parliament - and I've not been the only one. Now, it seems from a letter that Vince Cable has sent to members and from intimations of a speech Nick Clegg is making today, that the party in government is seriously pressing the case.
