Hilary Benn

Labour — Leeds South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 January 2025

Debate

Economic Growth

Contribution

I have had a number of discussions with the Executive on that subject, and I am pleased to see that the draft budget for next year contains a plan to raise further revenue to meet the £113 million requirement that was part of the budget restoration agreement. It is really important that the Executive raise additional funds to meet the challenges of improving public services.
