Debate

Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Bill

Contribution

I am not one to just highlight problems and walk away. There are solutions. An enhanced windfall tax on energy giants would create revenue that could be used to help safeguard the wellbeing and health of vulnerable individuals and, in doing so, prevent future hardship and illness, which are costly to the NHS. A phased carbon tax could help capture environmental costs and costs of inaction, allowing for investment in green technologies and creating new jobs.
