Gareth Thomas

Labour (Co-op) — Harrow West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 31 October 2024

Debate

High Street Businesses

Contribution

I gently suggest to the hon. Lady that those making up the anti-growth coalition are sat on her side of the House, and I gently point out to her that the highest number of businesses to go bust for 30 years was under the Conservative party last year. I would also happily ask her to use her influence with the Conservative-led council in my constituency, which is bringing in parking charges that will certainly damage the night-time economy.
