Adding it was "probably unlikely" that the tax would not be cut in the current climate and that he didn't "see any sign of it going soon".
David Cameron said he still regarded the rate as a "temporary measure" but accepted it could not be scrapped until after the 2015 general election.

Not Boris's job!
Funny, I thought it was the chancellor's job to determine tax rates- anyway here's hoping Bonkers Boris is voted out just in time for Ken "Newt" Livingstone to be present at the Olympics as host Mayor!!!!
