  OK, this is beginning to annoy me but I do agree with Barry W and David H. It is oft stated that the first industry to suffer in a recession is construction and it is also the industry with one of the widest ranges of workforce. If the object is to get people spending again money needs to be put into peoples pockets. Lifting the tax on 'refurbishment' would make more development affordable by taking out demolition costs (and have the added benefit of preserving some of our finer architecture). This would in turn keep people in work, create jobs and give people homes they could afford to buy. In a recession the roof over your head is far more important than ten quid off a new five hundred quid telly.
