Treasury: Brexit: Economic Impact ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: I thank my right hon. Friend for her question. Thanks to the excellent work of the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, we have repealed 100 EU rules and regulations in the financial services sector, and we will look very closely at the opportunities when it comes to tokenisation.

Treasury: Brexit: Economic Impact ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: I gently say to the hon. Lady, who I have a lot of time for, that the last thing business wants is the upheaval of a huge renegotiation of our trading arrangement with the EU, which is the largest tariff-free free trade deal by volume in the world.

Treasury: Brexit: Economic Impact ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: I welcome the hon. Gentleman to his position. His constituency predecessor served as a Minister in the Treasury—whatever greatness the hon. Gentleman goes on to, I am sure he will not sully himself with that role. When it comes to inflation, we have a high level of imported food, like Germany; a high level of imported gas, like Italy; and low unemployment, like the United States. These...

Treasury: Brexit: Economic Impact ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: Let me tell the hon. Gentleman what we are doing for his constituents, and indeed all the people of Scotland: around £3,000 of support for the average family up and down the country, including in Scotland; paying half people’s energy bills, on average; and a huge amount of support through the benefits system. Nearly £100 billion of support shows that we are stronger together.

Treasury: Investment Zones ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: Investment zones are part of our industrial strategy to make sure that the benefits of our national strengths in our five growth priority sectors are spread throughout the UK.

Treasury: Investment Zones ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: I know that the Acorn carbon capture, usage and storage project is based at St Fergus in my hon. Friend’s patch, and that Banff and Buchan is within the north-east of Scotland region, which is one of two eligible areas and has been a long-standing global centre for excellence in clean energy, so I wish him every success as those discussions with the Scottish Government continue.

Treasury: Investment Zones ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: I know there are some great businesses in my hon. Friend’s constituency—I much enjoyed meeting Robin and Helen Jones of Jones’ Village Bakery at a recent reception in No. 10, and I know they are going from strength to strength. I holidayed in Clwyd last year, and from the top of Moel Famau I saw a very impressive offshore wind farm. I completely agree that there is enormous potential in...

Treasury: Investment Zones ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: I very much enjoyed my visit to South Yorkshire to open that investment zone. It is incredibly impressive what is happening there and it was wonderful to welcome new investment by Boeing as part of that. The hon. Gentleman is right to talk about transport; that is why we involve local authorities in all our investment zone decisions. It is also vital to have universities involved, which is...

Treasury: Investment Zones ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: I enjoyed meeting the hon. Gentleman when we opened that investment zone. Let me reassure him that I am a big supporter of nuclear and I am very excited about the potential of SMRs. There is a competition going on this year, which we hope will be completed by the end of the year, to assess the viability of the various SMR manufacturers, and we want to get going as quickly as we can.

Treasury: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: On Friday, the Office for National Statistics published an update to the UK’s GDP growth figures, which shows that the UK economy was 0.6% larger than pre-pandemic levels by the fourth quarter of 2021. It means that our economy had the fastest recovery from the pandemic of any large European economy, thanks to decisions such as furlough that protected millions of jobs. For that growth to...

Treasury: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: I very much wish my hon. Friend’s local pubs the best of luck in that competition, second only to my desire to encourage South West Surrey pubs to do well. I want to reassure him that we believe that pubs are central to our national life. That is why we have provided relief on business rates of up to 75% for pubs, and as we heard earlier, the Brexit pubs guarantee helps on their duty pricing.

Treasury: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: Let me start by reassuring the right hon. Lady that the vast majority of pupils in the 156 schools affected are at school normally, and we are acting fast to minimise the impact on the rest. Let me answer the more general question that the right hon. Lady raised. Yes, we made cuts in spending in 2010 because, as she knows well, the last Labour Government left this country with an economic...

Treasury: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: Capital spending at the Department for Education went up 16% in real terms in that review. Is the difference not that, with the fastest recovery in Europe, the Conservatives build an economy that can pay for our schools and hospitals, and Labour runs out of money?

Treasury: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: It is very simply this: since 2010, we have become the strongest economy in Europe in film and television, life sciences and technology, and the opportunities are great with a Conservative Government.

Treasury: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: My hon. Friend is absolutely right to raise that issue. I actually had a breakfast with clean energy industry representatives this morning to discuss their concerns. There is a huge amount of potential investment, and he is right to say that maximising the use of our own oil and gas reserves during transition is a vital part of our energy security policy.

Treasury: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: As a Conservative, I want to bring taxes down as soon as we can afford to do so, and I am very proud that for the first time ever people can earn £1,000 a month without paying a penny of tax or national insurance.

Treasury: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: I am absolutely happy to do that, and I agree with my right hon. Friend about the enormous potential of those areas.

Treasury: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: I agree with what my hon. Friend says. The Bank of England itself has said there were problems with its inflation forecasting. It is learning the lessons from that and we must support it every step of the way as it brings down inflation.

Treasury: Topical Questions ( 5 Sep 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: We are always ferociously determined to recover money obtained through fraud, but because of those bounce back loans we have the fastest recovery of any major European country.

Written Ministerial Statements — Treasury: Consultation on tax incentives for occupational health (20 Jul 2023)

Jeremy Hunt: The Government is consulting on the case for further support through the tax system to encourage greater employer provision of occupational health services, as a means of reducing labour market inactivity in the UK. The Government is also consulting separately on wider interventions to incentivise investment in and provision of occupational health and longer-term options to boost the...
