Oral Answers to Questions

Ben Howlett Excerpts

Tuesday 29th November 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Hammond]

I understand the concerns, but this issue was debated extensively during the passage of the Pensions Act 2011, when the Government made concessions to this group of individuals worth £1.1 billion.

[Ben Howlett (Bath) (Con)]

T4. As the Chancellor will know, this Saturday marks Small Business Saturday across the country. I will be heading out in Bath to do some Christmas shopping at some of the small businesses and encouraging them to join my Best of Bath business awards. Will he join me in encouraging my constituents, and hopefully my neighbours’ constituents, to come into Bath and shop local?

[Mr Speaker]

I am sure the hon. Gentleman will be wearing that excellent pullover as he does so.
