Judith Cummins Excerpts

Tuesday 28th October 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

I call Rebecca Paul.

[Hon. Members]

Hear, hear!

[Bradley Thomas]

My hon. Friend is spot-on. That is incredibly short-sighted, and I think it will prove to be a false economy.

I urge the Government to embrace good design to provide a justification to my constituents for why they are pursuing the current house building targets in such a disproportionate way across the country. Most of all, I implore the Government to put at the centre of their fiscal plans the scale of ambition that hard-working people have every single day when they set their alarms and go out to work—they want to do the right thing for their families. The Government must realise that pulling the right fiscal levers and cutting the right taxes will stimulate the very activity that will drive the growth they are so desperate to achieve.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

I call the shadow Secretary of State.
