Budget Resolutions

The following is an extract from the winding-up speech on the second day of the Budget Resolutions debate—Thursday 9 March 2017—made by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury.

[Jane Ellison]

As well as offering some kind words about me relating to my previous role, the right hon. Member for Leicester East rightly drew our attention to the Government’s work on prevention. I shall not be drawn into talking about that too much—as a former public health Minister, I could talk on that for some time—but I remind him of the national diabetes prevention fund and the related work, and the £16 billion a year from the public health budget that we give to local government.

[Official Report, 9 March 2017, Vol. 622, c. 1043.]

Letter of correction from Jane Ellison:

An error has been identified in my closing speech during the Budget Resolutions debate on 9 March 2017.

The correct response should have been:

[Jane Ellison]

As well as offering some kind words about me relating to my previous role, the right hon. Member for Leicester East rightly drew our attention to the Government’s work on prevention. I shall not be drawn into talking about that too much—as a former public health Minister, I could talk on that for some time—but I remind him of the national diabetes prevention fund and the related work, and the £16 billion over the settlement period from the public health budget that we give to local government.
