Conservative — Rutland and Stamford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 31 October 2024

Debate

Income tax (charge)

Contribution

The right hon. Gentleman states that a full breakdown was provided by the Treasury yesterday, but that is just not true. In fact, the chair of the OBR said on “Sky News” last night: “Nothing in our review was a legitimisation of that £22 billion” claim. That was him making it very clear that the OBR does not support and has not endorsed the claim in the Treasury report. Will the right hon. Gentleman now confirm, with a simple yes or no, that the OBR does not legitimise that claim?
