Dr Ben Spencer

Conservative — Runnymede and Weybridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 January 2025

Debate

Public Finances: Borrowing Costs

Contribution

I hope that the Minister can quickly turn this situation around for my constituents and the country, and I wish him all the best in doing so. Given the challenges of business confidence and the markets, I had hoped that he would come to the House this morning with a plan that lays out the scope of the problem and the solution to fix it. Instead, he has spoken more about the Conservative party, rather than Labour’s plan for the economy. Is that because the Chancellor is not here today? When will she come back?
