Caller Michael, in Finchley, tells LBC's Tom Swarbrick that his daughter and her partner have opted to move to Dubai in order to 'enrich the lives of their children'.
The 'tax free salaries, £1800 apartment, and swimming pool' are also attractive factors, Michael tells Tom, as the pair plan to move in September.
His daughter is a therapist and his son-in-law is a sports scientist but despite their healthy salaries, they cannot afford to buy a house in London.
This conversation comes as the OCED urges Rachel Reeves to raise taxes and cut public spending, as she prepares to give her Spending Review next week.
