Easter Recess: Government Update

Zarah Sultana Excerpts

Tuesday 19th April 2022 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

I have apologised for what I have got wrong and I take full responsibility for everything that happened in No.10. For the rest of his question, the hon. Gentleman must wait for the completion of the investigation.

[Zarah Sultana (Coventry South) (Lab)]

Energy bills are soaring, wages are falling and the cost of living crisis is getting worse and worse, but while my constituents are forced to choose between heating and eating, the Chancellor is benefiting from the non-dom tax loophole and 17 of the Prime Minister’s 22 Cabinet members have refused to deny that they or their families benefit from tax havens or non-dom status. They are laughing in our faces while robbing the public purse. So I ask the Prime Minister, how many more children need to go hungry at night before he stops putting the greed of his super-rich mates before the needs of ordinary people?

[Mr Speaker]

Order. Can the hon. Lady withdraw “robbing the public purse”? That is just not the case.

[Zarah Sultana]

Yes.

If the Downing Street photographer is a publicly funded post, does that mean that all the photographs of the parties are public property and should be available for access?
