Debate between Andrew Griffith and Andrew Bridgen

Tuesday 11th October 2022 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Griffith]

The hon. Lady has fully booked her place as a member of the anti-growth coalition. The Government are not afraid to be on the side of the people who create the wealth that funds our public services. In 1979 the top 1% of earners paid about 10% of income tax; they now pay 29.1%. That is three times as much.

[Andrew Bridgen (North West Leicestershire) (Con)]

Does my hon. Friend agree that scrapping the cap on bankers’ bonuses will increase not only competitiveness, but tax receipts?

[Andrew Griffith]

Yes.
