Labour — Leeds West and Pudsey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 April 2026

Debate

Cost of Living: Worsley and Eccles

Contribution

The Government are committed to improving living standards for people across the UK. Thanks to decisions I made in the Budget, the energy price cap reduced by £117 a year, on average, in April. We have extended the cut in fuel duty twice, and introduced an anti-profiteering framework to protect working people from unfair price rises during the Iran conflict.
