Cameron: Right to back marriage properly in tax system

Prime Minister David Cameron has said that married couples will receive a £1,000 tax break from 2015,

He said of the move: "Marriage is a great institution and it helps to build a good and strong society so I think its right to back marriage properly in the income tax system.
