Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lucy Rigby and Kevin Bonavia

Tuesday 27th January 2026 Commons Chamber

[The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (Lucy Rigby)]

The hon. Member has referred to the motor finance redress situation. As the House would expect, we are monitoring that very closely, and we want to see the issues resolved in an efficient way that provides certainty for consumers and for firms. As the hon. Member knows, seeking to change the rules on corporation tax would mean deviating from our commitment to certainty and predictability in the tax system, as set out in our corporate tax road map.

[Kevin Bonavia (Stevenage) (Lab)]

I wish you a speedy recovery, Mr Speaker.

I welcome the economic steps that the Chancellor has taken against Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, and I encourage her to go further, but does she agree that the British public can have confidence in our sanctions regime only if those in political leadership across all parties, including the shadow Attorney General, do not have ongoing involvement in advising Russian oligarchs?
