More than half millionaires 'escaping UK'
Taxation, perceived better living standards abroad and the weather mean that only 44 per cent are certain of remaining here.
But the survey of more than 500 UK-based millionaires, carried out for investment firm Skandia, found that only 2 per cent were thinking of moving to a tax haven such as Switzerland or the Cayman Islands. Preferred destinations were France, the United States, Spain and Australia.
More than two-thirds of the millionaires made their fortunes from employment, investments or as the result of selling their business venture.
