Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2024)

Lucy Frazer: Since 2020, our economy, like those across the globe, has been challenged by a pandemic, a war in Ukraine and the spiralling cost of energy in the aftermath of Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. We have seen very difficult times for households up and down the country, but despite the most challenging economic headwinds in modern history, since 2010 our growth has been higher than every...

Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2024)

Lucy Frazer: The Government are supporting creativity across the country. In June, I announced £50 million, which we know from experience will leverage £250 million of investment, for creative clusters across the UK. Only recently, I was at Aviva Studios in Manchester. The £100 million invested in Manchester is the biggest investment since the Tate Modern. The hon. Member will have heard in the...

Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2024)

Lucy Frazer: The Chancellor’s tax plan is allowing people across the country to benefit from around £900 if they are an average earner, and we know that every time the Labour party leaves office there is higher unemployment. Last time the Labour party was in government, it left a note that said there was “no money left”. Let me tell the House what impact the Conservative plan has delivered over the...

Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2024)

Lucy Frazer: I hope the hon. Gentleman was listening when the Chancellor delivered his Budget. He highlighted that debt will be reducing next year, with the Office for Budget Responsibility forecasting that we will meet our fiscal rule to have debt falling as a share of the economy.

Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2024)

Lucy Frazer: My hon. Friend, as always, makes an excellent point. It is difficult to forget how this Government, and the Prime Minister when he was Chancellor, supported the livelihoods and economies of people up and down the country. In the creative industries alone, a covid recovery fund of £1.57 billion went to ensure that those industries continued to survive. The International Monetary Fund and...

Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2024)

Lucy Frazer: I am delighted that the Northern Ireland Executive are up and running, and keen to continue engagement with them to ensure that we continue to boost the economy in Northern Ireland. Our creative industries are not just life enhancing and entertaining, and they are not just part of our personal and national identities; they are an economic powerhouse that is dominating the world stage. In the...

Lucy Frazer: I am very happy to give way.

Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2024)

Lucy Frazer: The hon. Member makes a number of points. On taxes, we are sticking with the plan, which is to get taxes down. We are doing that by yet again reducing national insurance contributions. There are reductions for 29 million people and tax cuts for 27 million working people from April. He mentioned the tax-to-GDP ratio, where the UK tax system remains competitive: we have a lower tax-to-GDP ratio...

Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) (11 Mar 2024)

Lucy Frazer: My right hon. Friend knows that we want to reduce taxes on working people. It is not right that they have double taxation. He will also know about the importance of protecting pensioners, which is why, throughout our time in government, we have protected them, with one of the key ways of doing that being through the triple lock. I will highlight the progress made on the five priorities that...

Culture, Media and Sport: BBC Mid-term Review (22 Feb 2024)

Lucy Frazer: The BBC is a hugely valued institution, and the mid-term review seeks to ensure that it continues to provide an outstanding service by improving its processes in relation to both impartiality and complaints. I regularly meet the BBC’s chair and director-general, and I will continue to use those meetings to raise these important issues.

Culture, Media and Sport: BBC Mid-term Review (22 Feb 2024)

Lucy Frazer: My hon. Friend is absolutely right. The public rightly expect the BBC to be an exemplar of impartiality. Our review highlighted issues in relation to both impartiality and complaints. As a result, the BBC will undertake significant reforms on both impartiality and complaints. At the charter review, as I have already said, we will examine whether the BBC first process remains the right...
