Sir Mel Stride

Sir Mel Stride

Conservative — Central Devon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 September 2024

Debate

Social Security

Contribution

I will in a moment. We do not know what the impact will be across the income distribution. No Member of this House knows what the impact will be within their own constituency. We do not know what the recommendation of the Social Security Advisory Committee will be. Why? Because it will not be given the information until tomorrow, we are told. And of course, the measure does not form part of what it should: a major fiscal event with the Office for Budget Responsibility scoring it and an economic and fiscal outlook accompanying it.
