British Steel, National Living Wage, Sugar tax and obesity, Rehabilitation of offenders
Should the taxpayer bail out British steel? Is the new National Living Wage fair, enough or too much? Also - the sugar tax and obesity, and rehabilitating ex-prisoners.
Should the taxpayer bail out British Steel as happened with struggling banks? Thousands of jobs rely on what is described as a strategically important industry for the UK economy. But would state aid be wasted on a loss-making sector facing global problems?
Is the new National Living Wage of 拢7.20 an hour enough or too much? And is it fair to under-25s who are being paid 50p less?
Obesity levels in the UK are rising, but is the sugar tax an adequate response?
And with high re-offending rates amongst ex-offenders, how should we try to ensure that former prisoners make a positive contribution to society after their release?
