Labour — Sunderland Central

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 May 2025

Debate

Income Tax: Personal Allowance

Contribution

I will be brief. I thank all hon. Members for their contributions. A debate on tax policy can be somewhat dry, but it is important to remember, as hon. Members on both sides of the House have reflected, that there are personal stories and circumstances behind all the signatories to this petition and the emails in our mailboxes. People are struggling to make ends meet and trying to do the best for their families and raise their standard of living. It is important to remember that. On behalf of the Petitions Committee, I thank the Minister for his response to the debate and all the Members who attended. I particularly thank Mr Frost for instigating the petition and all the petitioners who signed it. We have had a short but important debate this afternoon on the nub of the key economic policy debates facing the country. Question put and agreed to. Resolved, That this House has considered e-petition 702844 relating to the Income Tax Personal Allowance.
