Britain scraps controversial plan to reform tax aid for poorest
Finance minister George Osborne
London - Arab Today

"I've listened to the concerns. I hear and understand them. And because I’ve been able to announce today an improvement in the public finances, the simplest thing to do is not to phase these changes in, but to avoid them altogether," he told parliament.
