The Growth Plan

John Redwood Excerpts

Friday 23rd September 2022 Commons Chamber

[Kwasi Kwarteng]

All I remember is the financial crash of 2008, which the right hon. Gentleman’s party presided over and managed to engineer. I would also mention that the 40p rate was the rate for 20 years, and it was the one adopted by his party when it was successful and used to win elections.

[John Redwood (Wokingham) (Con)]

I strongly welcome the growth plan and the tax cuts that will help deliver it. Does the Chancellor agree that there are more obstacles to be swept aside so that we can grow more of our own food, produce more of our own energy and supply more of our goods, in order to raise living standards and generate the better jobs we all want for our constituents?

[Kwasi Kwarteng]

As so often, my right hon. Friend is 100% right.
