If you've ever filled out a tax return you will know that the first 4 or 5 pages are simply questions about name,DOB,NI,are you registered blind ,have you received any UK benefits etc .The majority is not applicable to most people in Camerons position
In what way are they embarrassing?

Are you serious ? plenty of the 95% of people you speak of profit from inheritance tax planning ,it's something that anyone who owns their house has to be aware of ,it is nothing like a tax haven
