Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between James Murray and David Williams

Tuesday 3rd December 2024 Commons Chamber

The impact of the impact assessment is published in the tax information and impact note, which is published alongside the legislation, which I am sure the hon. Lady will have seen. It comes down to the basic point that we have to make tough decisions on taxation if we want to fund those public services.
