Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sarah Jones and Kit Malthouse

Thursday 31st October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Kit Malthouse (North West Hampshire) (Con)]

We should all welcome the work of both Governments that resulted in the announcement of £63 billion of inward investment into the UK. However, since then, as a number of Members have pointed out, we have had significant new regulation in the labour market and massive new taxes on businesses. If any of those investors now change their minds, will the Secretary of State come to the House and inform us, please?

[Sarah Jones]

We will of course keep the House updated on the results of the investment summit, but the £63 billion, as I said earlier, was a massive show of confidence in this new Government.
