"As for my own point of view, I have been in favour of this style of tax reform for a long time and do discuss these issues as I meet the electorate. I have answered your questions but please remember that the answers given are mine. I would deliver the wishes of the voters of Norwich North in any vote and therefore may have to vote against my own perspective".
