David Burton-Sampson

Labour — Southend West and Leigh

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 October 2025

Debate

Financial Inclusion

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for securing this important debate. In my constituency of Southend West and Leigh, nearly 30% of people who are financially vulnerable are in the “squeezed and sliding” group—people with mortgages and rent commitments but on a low income and, most importantly, with limited savings. Does he agree that more needs to be done to encourage saving for a rainy day, perhaps including an opt-out payroll savings scheme?
