Tom Gordon

Liberal Democrat — Harrogate and Knaresborough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 February 2026

Debate

Fish and Chip Sector

Contribution

I will not make any fish puns; it is not my plaice to do so. We have fantastic fish-and-chipperies in Harrogate and Knaresborough, including Oatlands Mount. Local chippy owners tell me that a cut in VAT for hospitality and restaurants would deliver a meaningful boost for them. Will the Minister pass that on to her Treasury colleagues?
