Lewis Cocking Excerpts

Wednesday 26th November 2025 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

The deal we struck with the EU will deliver on what the British public voted for last year, which is, as my hon. Friend says, boosting economic growth and restoring positive relations. The deal we have struck, which is worth £9 billion to our economy by 2040, includes a sanitary and phytosanitary agreement to cut supermarket prices and boost export opportunities. The Tories and Reform would rip up that deal and leave us all paying more at the checkout.

[Lewis Cocking (Broxbourne) (Con)]

Q8. When it comes to economic growth, this Labour Government are all talk and no action—so maybe I can help the Prime Minister. Roadworks and traffic jams cost the UK economy £8 billion last year. This affects my constituents every single day. They want to know what the Government are doing about it, and when the Government are going to back working people and get Britain moving.
