Simon Hoare

Conservative — North Dorset

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 January 2026

Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

Correct me if I am wrong, but the Leader of the Opposition responded to the Budget and opposed it. The Liberal Democrat spokesman would have spoken later down the list, so I beg to differ from the hon. Gentleman. The Conservative party was the first party to oppose this proposal, not the Liberal Democrats.
