I agree with Mr Carnall's letter, published in last week's edition of the Borehamwood & Elstree Times.

This Government has done very little to help the old-age pensioner.

With his moneybags bulging at the seams, the Chancellor could have been much more generous towards elderly people.

As for the forthcoming general election, there are so many wider issues to consider, such as the European Union, law and order, health and education, Green Belt conservation.

Therefore, which party will best tackle these issues will be my chief concern when I cast my vote on polling day.
