Labour — Loughborough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 January 2026

Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

I am not sure I quite follow the hon. Gentleman’s point there, to be perfectly honest. It is true that most people’s main savings investment will be through the pension funds they own, which will be their biggest savings vehicle; that would not be subject to dividend taxation in the same way because people will buy out at the end and ensure that they have a payment for their products. I am not sure I quite follow, but, to be fair to the hon. Gentleman, it is possible that I misunderstood his point. I can see there are lots of people trying to get in, Ms Nokes. [Laughter.] I will end my speech now to allow them to do so. It is a thrilling topic, as I am sure everyone across the Committee would agree. This is the right thing to do to balance taxation between earnings and payments from wealth. It is a long-needed update to our taxation system. I am proud of a Government who do that, as I am sure we all are. With that, I will close.
