British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said nearly all of the benefit of a now-abolished tax break for tourists went to a small area of central London, dampening the hopes of shops and businesses campaigning for it to be brought back. Sunak told LBC radio he avoided talking about tax policy because of the impact of any comments on markets.
The three tourists have been jailed for two years, but initially, the prosecutor had sought an 11-year term after the trio was caught with counterfeit Euros.
