Wales TUC demands Hunt drops inheritance tax cut from autumn statement
Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt

WTUC general secretary Shavanah Taj said: “Virtually no-one is affected by inheritance tax in Wales, but if it is cut our public services will be starved of much-needed funding yet again.
