Emma Sheerin: ...the motion, to send a clear and unequivocal message to the population of the North that racism is a scourge that the representatives in this Chamber take seriously and will act with urgency to stamp out. Sinn Féin believes in a society that cherishes equality and respect as central tenets, a society free of discrimination in all its forms. The House must send a resounding signal that we...
John Glen: ...rate of VAT on tourism and hospitality. Doing so supported millions of jobs in some of our most jobs-rich industries. To create jobs, we are driving growth in the housing sector by increasing the stamp duty threshold temporarily to £500,000, creating green jobs with the green homes grant, and providing billions of pounds of capital investment.

Patrick Harvie: ...to speak for a few moments on the proposal for a cut to land and buildings transaction tax. I start from a position of accepting that, when introduced, LBTT was a modest improvement on the stamp duty tax that went before it.

Sadiq Khan: Thank you for your question and you get these issues from your economic experience, but basically even though the Government has changed the order on stamp duty, which may help some people buy properties, what they are not doing is helping the developers, the construction industry, housing associations and Londoners, with new home building. Because the market has slowed down for obvious...
Baroness Grender: ...has been let down by this Government. The Housing Secretary’s promise in March, that “no renter who has lost income due to coronavirus will be forced out of their home”, has been abandoned.
