Liberal Democrat — Glastonbury and Somerton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 January 2025

Debate

High Streets: Autumn Budget 2024

Contribution

Responding to my small business survey, a local business in Street said that high employer national insurance contributions is one of the major challenges and that it could force them to cancel some of their investment plans. Does my hon. Friend agree that the measures being proposed do not encourage growth and could instead push more high street businesses to close, significantly impacting the already fragile rural economy?
