Kevin Ingram, banking and finance partner, Clifford Chance

• Keep:
  I would maintain the overseas aid budget – I think that's really important.
• Scrap:
  I would definitely get rid of the bedroom tax – I think that's appalling. I would also change the GCSE exam system and A-levels. It's a mess; both my children are in the middle of them.
• Amend:
  The pupil premium doesn't work, but I think the idea of providing money at the low end does. I would amend it by changing the formula and/or increasing the amount. I think the basic idea that you need to provide more support for children in the lower income bracket is a good one.

Marcus Jamson, finance partner, Wedlake Bell

• Keep:
  The policy on the deficit. Stay on course with trying to reduce it.
• Scrap:
  The proposed restrictions on pension contributions.
• Amend:
  No delayed referendum on the EU.

David Hughes, litigation partner, Dechert

• Keep:
  I like the pension reforms but not the caps on tax relief, which have been lowered.
• Scrap:
  The EU referendum would be bonkers. I'm hoping there will not be another vote on Scotland as well. This would be very disruptive on both sides of the border. I also have concerns on bank betting and whether that will continue.
• Amend:
  Stamp duty is also bonkers. The rates are ridiculously high.

Charles Martin, senior partner, Macfarlanes

Obviously as a firm we don't have a political view. Our partners will have a variety of political positions on this. But broadly we would have a concern about anything that an incoming government could do to damage the standing of the City as a world financial centre and the UK as an attractive place to do business.
