I honestly can't decide if "the race cycling industry" is referring to the cycle racing industry (does such a thing exist in Britain?) or the recycling industry

Salary sacrifice is a poor way of subsidising. More cash for those with higher tax rates (meaning more income) is the opposite of what we should be doing - getting solar panels onto the rooves of fuel poor families. Poorer families have less salary to sacrifice, meaning less or no subsidy for them
