Conservative — Bridgwater

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 October 2025

Debate

Stamp Duty Land Tax

Contribution

Another significant proportion will come from reducing the civil service to the size it was back in 2016. The proposal is fully funded, and he does himself no favours by inventing other facts.
