David Simmonds

Conservative — Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 January 2025

Debate

Local Growth Funding

Contribution

Will the Government commit to publishing an assessment of the impact that their national insurance rises, business rates rises and changes to business property relief are having on local growth plans?
