This article adopts a reflexive stance as the authors look back on their doctoral research projects; the first author exploring young people's relationships with community radio, and the second author studying young people's alcohol consumption practices and experiences, both in the North West of England, UK. The authors discuss the methods of data collection they employed, which enabled young people the opportunity to participate in meaningful ways. However, drawing on snapshots from their PhD theses, the authors question whether decisions made when writing up related to protecting anonymity, (re)presenting speech characteristics, and editing, independently of participants, potentially undid some of the hard work exerted in creating an equitable space for young people's contributions, resultantly perpetuating the regulation of young people and keeping them "in their place". The authors propose some recommendations for facilitating the inclusion of young people in the writing up of participatory research.

Mortgage interest tax relief is unjustified, say Professor Roy Wilkinson, of the Sheffield University School of Management, and Margaret Wilkinson. They argue that it should be phased out.

Criticisms of mortgage tax relief have come from several quarters in recent years but they have been rejected by successive governments. We present here estimates of the distribution of this subsidy to owner-occupation and show, contrary to the claims of the Housing Consultative Document (1977), that it has some tendency to be regressive. The justification for continuing this policy, including that advanced in the Green Paper, is then critically examined in light of an economic analysis of effects. It is concluded that the gradual withdrawal of the subsidy would increase equity and efficiency in housing policy.
