Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Dan Aldridge

Tuesday 12th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Dan Aldridge (Weston-super-Mare) (Lab)]

T2.

Does the Minister agree that the Conservative party appears to have learned absolutely nothing during its time in office, presiding over the worst cost of living crisis in generations and failing to act—

[Mr Speaker]

[Dan Aldridge]
