The Growth Plan

Debate between Kwasi Kwarteng and Matt Warman

Friday 23rd September 2022 Commons Chamber

[Kwasi Kwarteng]

The markets will react as they will, but the growth plan will soon show that we are on the right course and that we are steering us to a more prosperous future.

[Matt Warman (Boston and Skegness) (Con)]

I welcome the focus on putting rocket boosters under Britain’s brilliant technology sector in the Chancellor’s Budget, but internet businesses are open 24/7. This is a deregulating Government. Will the Chancellor look at deregulating Sunday opening hours, so that we can compete on the high street as we can compete on the internet?

[Kwasi Kwarteng]

We have looked at that in the past. It was not without controversy, but I would be happy to hear my hon. Friend’s ideas on the subject.
