Oral Answers to Questions

Richard Burgon Excerpts

Wednesday 8th March 2023 Commons Chamber

The Prime Minister was asked—

[Richard Burgon (Leeds East) (Lab)]

Q1. If he will list his official engagements for Wednesday 8 March.

[The Prime Minister (Rishi Sunak)]

Today is International Women’s Day. At home, we are taking huge strides to deliver equal opportunities for women, such as mandatory pay gap reporting and the landmark Domestic Abuse Act 2021; and internationally, we have today launched a new women and girls strategy, which puts them at the heart of everything we do.

This morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

[Richard Burgon]

Over 100 days ago, the Prime Minister promised to publish his tax returns. He still hasn’t. People want transparency in our politics, especially because the Prime Minister is the richest Prime Minister in history and because of the concerns there have been. So why on earth has the Prime Minister not published his tax returns yet, when will he do so, and when he does so, will he include his US tax returns?

[The Prime Minister]

As I previously confirmed, I will publish my tax returns, and that will be done very shortly.
