General Election 2015: The 10 pledges that David Cameron hopes will convince voters they will be better off with him as Prime Minister
Tory giveaways include tax-free minimum wage, double the amount of free childcare, 7-day GPs and a five-year freeze on rail fares

David Cameron offered a string of giveaways for voters in his manifesto launch today aimed at winning over voters from a range of demographics.
These are the top 10 pledges the Tories hope will convince the low-paid, young parents, commuters, social housing tenants, middle class workers and grandparents to allow Mr Cameron to stay in Number 10:
1. Take everyone earning less than £12,500 out of income tax altogether
2. Double the amount of free childcare to 30 hours a week for parents of three and four year-olds, worth £5,000 for families, paid for by cutting back on pension relief for high earners.

3. Extend income tax threshold to £500,000, giving married couples a combined tax-free inheritance to pass on of £1 million
4. A freeze in rail fares for five years
5. Extend the right-to-buy scheme to housing association and council house tenants, which will allow 1.3 million people buy their homes.
6. A 7-day a week access to a GP to deliver a “truly 7-day NHS”.
7. £8 billion fund for the NHS by the end of the Parliament

8. No rise in VAT, national insurance contributions or income tax
9. Increase the 40p income tax threshold to £50,000
10. Three million new apprenticeships
