Times letters: How inheritance tax changes affect growth
Write to letters@ Sir, You argue in your leading article 'From Me to You' (Aug 14) that it is 'morally wrong' to levy inheritance tax on 'those who have worked hard throughout their lives to earn something to pass onto the next generation', but the biggest slice of inherited wealth is in the form of a house sale. The amount of income used to acquire a house depends mainly on the size of the mortgage at the time the house was bought — that is, its historic value — not on what it is sold for as part of probate, its current value. An adjustment for inflation may be appropriate, but there is no reason a house should be tax-exempt because its deceased owner 'worked hard to acquire it'.Peter Curwen Leeds Sir, For Rachel Reeves, wealth is a sin and she intends to tax it like other sinful behaviours. Sin taxes have a long history in reducing activities that politicians disapprove of. Sin taxes on smoking, drinking and driving have succeeded. Inevitably, as our sinning diminishes, so do sin tax revenues. Tobacco and fuel duty revenues are both down. Alcohol duty revenue is up, marginally, but on lower per capita consumption because tax rates on stronger booze have increased. Sin taxes on wealth will have the same result. There will be far less of the sinful activity of wealth creation, and eventually tax revenues will fall. The worst sinners are already fleeing our shores. Inheritance tax revenue will disappear as people stop leaving wealth to their children. As you have reported (Jul 28), capital gains tax revenues are already falling, from £14.6 billion in 2022-23 to £12.1 billion in 2023-34 as the sinners prepare to repent. What's more, with far fewer of the '1 per cent club' who pay 30 per cent of total income tax, we can all look forward to even higher tax bills ReeceLondon N4 Sir, I wonder if Rachel Reeves has fully considered the implications of subjecting pensions to inheritance tax. Having worked for more than 40 years and contributed to a pension in the belief that this would relieve the state of any responsibility for me in old age, I am now confused. Obviously I don't know how long I may live, but in the hope it may be a reasonably long time I have invested in UK stocks and shares, both to protect my family and to promote UK stocks and shares. All of us have benefitted, but now I must re-evaluate. Several of my options include selling the UK stocks and shares. Reeves has said she wants pension funds to invest more in the UK stock market, but how will her policies encourage that?Paul Mitchell Thédirac, France Sir, The proposal to 'tighten' rules on the seven-year exemption to IHT on gifts is odd ('Budget may tighten rules on inheritance tax', Aug 13). We seem to have forgotten the reason for this relief, which is to encourage growth. Essentially, it is better for growth for elderly people to pass on assets to younger people who will use them. A simple example is an older person taking cash from their bank and giving it to their child to buy a house. This results in work for estate agents, surveyors, solicitors and contractors, as well as a tax contribution in stamp duty and VAT. For a pro-growth government, to remove the incentive to give these gifts seems HardsBlakeney, Norfolk Sir, John Stewart says (Thunderer, Aug 13) that the proliferation of cycle lanes on main roads is because priority is given to cyclists making longer trips, at the expense of people using side-roads for shorter journeys. The reason priority is given to main roads is that they are where cyclists are in most danger. In many places outside London, it is impossible to make even short journeys without using main roads. I agree, though, that the design of cycle lanes needs review. Bumps and bollards that separate cycle lanes from vehicle lanes are hazards, as are jay-walking pedestrians and car passengers opening doors without looking. Some cycle lanes at junctions are so labyrinthine that they are difficult for both pedestrians and cyclists to navigate. The sad fact is that at present some cycle lanes are so badly designed that it is often safer, and certainly quicker, to avoid SpenceSale, Cheshire Sir, The residents of Streatham Hill are due to suffer more than a year of roadworks as Transport for London and Lambeth council reduce the motor vehicle capacity of the A23 to a single lane. The reason is that it is safer for cyclists and pedestrians to create a segregated cycle lane with floating bus stops and reduce access from residential side roads. I believe that if they wanted to keep everyone safe — and save money — they could ban cyclists from this stretch of the A23 and direct them to the low-traffic neighbourhood along the southbound carriageway. One of reasons the council gave for creating the LTN was that it would make it safer to cycle and CrillyLondon SW16 Sir, Harry Wallop writes (Business, Aug 15) about the poor prospects for delivery riders in the gig economy. These riders and others in such jobs will, at the end of their working lives, have little if any pension and will be dependent on the state. The people running these companies will have retired comfortably and left taxpayers to look after their former workers. Bill ParishBromley, Kent Sir, Sadly, the stone coffins and skeleton that have been on view in the northeast corner of Sherborne Abbey for the last century cannot be those of Alfred the Great's brothers (letter, Aug 14). They lie immediately beneath a 14th-century tiled pavement, within a chantry chapel, and are more likely to be those of a late-medieval abbot. When they were uncovered, in 1925, during the making of WD Caroe's new Lady Chapel, no archaeologist was there to study or record them. If the present vicar wishes to find the burials of Alfred's brothers, I suggest a careful research excavation on either side of the high Tatton-BrownSalisbury Sir, The discussion about the remains of his family brings into focus the location of Alfred himself. After his death, in 899, he was buried in Old Minster, Winchester. He was then moved to New Minster, the church built by his son, King Edward, as the dynastic focus for the family. The Norman destruction of both minsters led to the building of Hyde Abbey, just outside the walls of the city, as the 'final' resting place for Alfred, Edward and other family members. Sadly, Hyde Abbey fell victim to Henry VIII. Alfred's grave was lost until 1788, when the building of a bridewell on the site led to its rediscovery. The authorities allowed the bones to be lost around the building site. So we can now say with some confidence that the bones of Alfred and his immediate family lie scattered and shattered adjacent to the entrance to River Park in Hyde. We have long lobbied Winchester city council for a proper commemoration of Alfred and the story of the abbey in Hyde Gate, almost the last remaining original building within the abbey FennellFounder, Hyde900Winchester Sir, Further to your article 'Rolls-Royce's UK plans go nuclear' (Business, Aug 14), I have no doubt Rolls-Royce's aero-engine business will remain remarkably successful but its enthusiasm for land-based small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) is commercially misplaced. Firstly, SMRs are essentially experimental prototype scale-ups. I would be surprised if savvy companies such as Google and Amazon were contemplating reliance on experimental tech. Secondly, authoritative research by academics at the University of Pennsylvania, in a paper published in May 2022, demonstrated that SMR radioactive waste is harder to handle than waste from Gigawatt-sized nuclear David LowryInstitute for Resource and Security Studies, Massachusetts, US Sir, Alice Thomson calls for 'honest but calm dialogue' about migration (Comment, Aug 13). She concedes that 'some Islamic countries don't share western values', but understates in my opinion how big a barrier that is to integration. The schism between Catholicism and Protestantism endured for BickleyHuntingdon, Cambs Sir, In response to your question 'Which artist best captures the true spirit of Britain — in a single frame?', (Times2, Aug 15), surely Banksy's Girl with Balloon, his powerful 2002 mural, best encapsulates the nation's sentiments in these troubled times. It was voted the nation's favourite in 2017 and, as well as being one of his most famous works, it is also one of Banksy's most optimistic, as the original mural was accompanied by the words: 'There is always hope.'Adrian BrodkinLondon N2 Sir, Your excellent article overlooked Walter Sickert. Over his long and prolific career, he painted ordinary British people at the music hall and in grimy bedsits. He reinvented himself more than once and has influenced and inspired many who came later. My choice would be BostonKingshill, Kent Sir, David Hockney has spent a great deal of his time on British landscapes, most notably Garrowby Hill, and his innovative artwork on the iPad is ClarkeRye, E Sussex Sir, Anthony Roberts (letter, Aug 14) brings to mind the warning attributed to Henry Longhurst that 'If you call on God to improve the results of a shot while it is still in motion, you are using an outside agency and subject to appropriate penalties under the rules of golf.'John Murray Compton Chamberlayne, Wilts Sir, A friend of my parents had his bicycle stolen. It was found two days later and, being a good Catholic, he went to church to thank St Anthony. On leaving church, he found that it had been stolen YoungSouthampton Sir, Public statues in London have always been controversial, for many reasons (News, Aug 8, and letters, Aug 13 and 14). In 1937, a decision was made to site the memorials to Admiral Jellicoe and Admiral Beatty in Trafalgar Square, which required moving the statues of General Napier and Major General Havelock, and there had even been discussions about moving William IV from his plinth to an island at Virginia Water. It was all too much for Sir Patrick Duff, secretary of the Office of Works, who was still reeling after controversies about the statue of Field Marshal Haig on Whitehall. In a letter to the first commissioner, Sir Philip Sassoon, in January 1938, Duff fumed that the best site for all statues was at the bottom of the CrellinThorner, W Yorks Sir, Marion Brown's letter (Aug 13) revived an old misapprehension of my own.

Jaguar Land Rover threatens to sue National Rail over ‘ranger and rover' ticket names
Jaguar Land Rover has threatened to sue National Rail over the names of long-established train tickets. The carmaker sent a cease and desist letter to the Rail Delivery Group, which operates the National Rail website, ordering it to stop referring to 'ranger and rover' train tickets on the site. Lawyers for the Indian-owned carmaker claimed the use of the phrase 'ranger and rover' infringed its trademark on the name 'Range Rover'. Train companies are now being told to change their websites to remove any mention of 'ranger and rover' unless it is phrased as 'ranger tickets and rover tickets'. A Rail Delivery Group memo seen by The Telegraph, which was sent to train companies and ticket sellers, said Jaguar Land Rover had formally objected to the phrase 'ranger and rover'. Rover tickets, which give unlimited train travel for seven days and are offered by many train companies, pre-date the Range Rover car by more than a decade. The original All-Line Rail Rover ticket was introduced by British Rail in 1959 and priced at £15 for second-class travel. This is equivalent to £304 today, according to Bank of England inflation figures, whereas a modern seven-day All Line Rover ticket is now priced at £650 for standard class travel. Ranger tickets, which allow unlimited travel on one specific train company's services or within a certain geographical area, have been sold since the 1970s. The first Range Rover was launched in 1970 by British Leyland, as the company's own website acknowledges. According to the railway memo, Jaguar Land Rover has not objected to the branding of individual ranger and rover tickets. It said it was 'considering' writing to companies which use that phase. The Rail Delivery Group, which is responsible for accrediting third-party train ticket sellers as well as updating the National Rail website, said it was now referring to the products as 'rover tickets and ranger tickets'. The memo suggests all train companies' public-facing materials should be amended to 'rover tickets and ranger tickets', adding that Jaguar Land Rover has promised not to issue cease and desist letters to retailers which use these names. A Rail Delivery Group spokesman said: 'We are confident that our practices have always complied with intellectual property law and were happy to work with Jaguar Land Rover towards a resolution. 'After being made aware of a trademark query by JLR, we worked closely with them to make a minor change to how we describe our Ranger tickets and Rover tickets.'

Glasgow Cineworld closing date set as staff to be made redundant
The closing date of the world's tallest cinema on Glasgow's Renfrew Street has been set. The world's tallest cinema based in Glasgow will be shutting its doors next month. Employees at the Renfrew Street Cineworld were sent letters in July saying the cinema was 'likely to close' and the situation is out of Cineworld's control. In a recent decision from the landlord, the Renfrew Street cinema will officially close on September 28, reports Glasgow Live. In a letter sent to employees this week, staff were told that their roles were "at risk". Part of it reads: "Cineworld has received correspondence from the landlord of our Glasgow Renfrew Street Cinema advising that they are serving us notice to quit the building. "This therefore means that your roles will shortly be placed at risk of redundancy, as a result of this notice." During the letter, it states that employees will now enter a period of "consultation". It ends with: "I appreciate that today's announcement may be upsetting and your line manager or I will be available to support you throughout this process". A spokesperson for Cineworld confirmed the closure, however, said that their Silverburn cinema will undergo its most "ambitious transformation yet". A spokesperson said: "Following the landlord's recent decision, Cineworld Glasgow Renfrew Street will close on September 28, 2025. As we say goodbye to Renfrew Street, Cineworld Silverburn is undergoing its most ambitious transformation yet – with major investment bringing a 4DX screen and a full upgrade of every 2D auditorium to luxury recliner seating.
