Mr Gagan Mohindra

Conservative — South West Hertfordshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

Hospitality Sector VAT: Local Economies, Employment and Growth

Contribution

My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech. As the shadow Minister, my hon. Friend the Member for Grantham and Bourne (Gareth Davies), will be aware, the Laffer curve says that if we tax something, we discourage it. Does my hon. Friend the Member for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk agree that the Government’s increase in employer national insurance contributions means they are forcing companies and businesses not to expand and, in some cases, to close down?
