BBC Radio 4 - Pay and Tax: The Radio 4 Debate

Nick Robinson and panel discuss whether our current pay structure is the right one.

Nick Robinson and an expert panel discuss whether our current pay structure is the right one, and what part tax or other government intervention could play in changing it.

This debate on pay and tax rounds up a week of programmes on Radio 4 on two of the biggest topics facing the UK at the moment economically and politically.

The BBC's Political Editor Nick Robinson is joined by mobile phone entrepreneur John Caudwell, Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee, philosohy professor Jonathan Wolff, and economist Dr Andrew Lilico from the think tank Policy Exchange. They will debate whether the current pay structure is the right one, and if it isn't, what part could tax or other government intervention play in changing it. And what might the alternatives be like for our economy and our society?

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
