Labour — Leeds West and Pudsey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 January 2025

Debate

Servicing Government Debt

Contribution

After 14 years of stagnant growth and the decline in living standards during the last Parliament, my hon. Friend is absolutely right that we must turn around that performance. That is what this Government are determined to do. The planning and infrastructure Bill will come to Parliament shortly, followed by the pensions Bill, which will unlock long-term pension capital and make it easier for businesses to get things done in this country.
