Cleaned out
I AM puzzled by the comment (your report, 11 February) that Prime Minister David Cameron is looking at Sweden’s reported tax breaks for families to employ cleaners so that women can go out to work.
So, who looks after the cleaners’ families? Or are some Swedish cleaners paid high wages and can thus themselves – after suitable tax breaks – pay for lower-value cleaners? And what are the men doing?
