Labour — Swansea West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 May 2025

Debate

Business and the Economy

Contribution

Real household disposable income per capita is growing quite fast, according to the latest measure at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024. The OBR says that the legacy of the previous Government has shown it that productivity and growth in this economy have been too slow. Our job is to turn around their record, so that the forecasts and real wages start to rise.
