DAILY TELEGRAPH POLITICAL REPORTING (No. 4)

Motion Text

That this House notes with interest the recent (10th May) report headed `Families are being taxed until the pips squeak' by the paper's economics editor; further notes the introductory paragraph alleging that family finances are being squeezed `more than ever before'; is, therefore, surprised to discover two paragraphs later that disposable income has actually increased and that `more than ever before' is defined as `since comparable records began in 1996'; and calls on the Editor of the Daily Telegraph to stop insulting the intelligence of its readers and take whatever steps are necessary to restore the integrity of its journalism.
