Labour — Leeds West and Pudsey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 July 2024

Debate

Public Spending: Inheritance

Contribution

I know how hard our teachers, doctors, nurses, armed forces, police officers and prison guards work to keep us all safe, healthy and educated. They deserve the pay awards that we have announced today. It was the independent pay review bodies that recommended those pay increases. It would be extraordinary not to honour them, and we have done so today.
