Budget Resolutions

Debate between Jonathan Reynolds and Caroline Nokes

Wednesday 6th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Jonathan Reynolds]

How are you going to pay for projects that you promised but never delivered, and that you knew you could never pay for?

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)]

Order. The Secretary of State knows better than to say “you”.
