Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 December 2024

Debate

UK Entrepreneurs

Contribution

My Lords, I declare an interest in having started several businesses, the first of which went on to pay £2 billion in tax. I have learned a bit about starting businesses. I would have liked to hear something from the Minister that did not include the phrases “fixing the foundations” or “the £22 billion black hole”. Given all that he has said, why has market and business confidence collapsed since 4 July?
