Conservative — North West Norfolk

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 July 2025

Debate

Poverty Reduction

Contribution

First, it was a humiliating reversal of the Chancellor’s winter fuel cuts. Now, welfare cuts that she rushed to meet her fiscal rules have been shredded, leaving unfunded spending to pay for. In October, the Chancellor said that extending the freeze in income tax thresholds “would hurt working people. It would take more money out of their payslips”—[Official Report, 30 October 2024; Vol. 755, c. 821.] Does she stand by the commitment to end that freeze from 2028—yes or no?
