Jerome Mayhew

Conservative — Broadland and Fakenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 January 2026

Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman said earlier that this was a tax on the rich because 20% of dividends are paid to the richest 1% of people in this country, but that means that 80% are not. Does he not accept that dividends are right at the heart of the savings culture in this country and that if we tax them, we will get less savings?
