Liberal Democrat — Winchester

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2026

Debate

Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

Contribution

It was slightly disappointing that the Budget made no commitment to restoring the mental health investment standard. There is an economic imperative in that as well. Millions of people are on waiting lists for mental healthcare, but if we could get them off waiting lists and back into work, that would help to grow the economy. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that we should restore that mental health investment standard?
