Perhaps I can make a little progress, but then I will of course give way.
The Government continue to reduce levels of taxation and I welcome that move. In a recent report, Bexhill and Battle constituency, which I represent, was in the top 10 constituencies for the fastest rise in wages for the past 10 years. As I am from a constituency that has lagged behind the national average for far too long, I am incredibly excited about this change in fortune.
I fully support the commitment in the Bill and hope that the benefits will be felt across the country as well as in my constituency.
