Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he has taken in the Autumn Budget 2026 to promote growth in Paisley and Renfrewshire South constituency.
Answered by Lucy Rigby - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury)
Despite the impact of shocks, the British economy has shown real resilience; growing at the joint fastest rate in the G7 this year.
The Budget seeks to further strengthen our resilience; including by making some of the structural and systemic changes that will create the conditions for further growth – with better and safer AI adoption, tax relief for entrepreneurs, a cheaper energy mix and fiscal devolution.
