Paul Holmes

Conservative — Hamble Valley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 30 June 2025

Debate

Welfare Reform

Contribution

I am sure that the Chancellor will be delighted that the flip-flopping of the Prime Minister means she has to find another £2.5 billion in taxation on people in this country. Does the Secretary of State think that it is fair that a two-tier system has been created? Why would anybody on the old rate seek work when they know that if they go into work, it does not work out and they claim again, they will get a reduced rate under her Government?
