David Cameron backs Archbishop on top pay – The Independent

David Cameron has backed the Archbishop of Canterbury’s call for greater responsibility by high earners in the City, while playing down the idea of a “Robin Hood tax” on the banks.

The Prime Minister said Dr Rowan Williams spoke “for the whole country” when he condemned the excesses of those at the top of society.

However he told MPs that the Government would only support a tax on financial transactions if it was adopted around the world.
