Speeches by Blake.

“Did you say 5,500?”

“I wanted to turn to your work to close the tax gap and reflect on the reports in the spring statement about the additional income that you were set to bring in in 2024-25 and going ahead. Just to start off with, you estimated that you would bring in an additional £45 million as a result of investing in additional HMRC …”

“Yes.”

“Would it be fair to say that the reduction in productivity estimated from the trade and co-operation agreement has had an impact that is still having an effect on our economy now and that the recovery, to characterise it as such, will take longer than perhaps the initial impact?”

“Dr Mann, what is your assessment of the UK-EU trade arrangements now and the impact that they might have on our stability compared to our previous relationship in relation to the US tariffs?”

“Have you, at this point, been able to estimate the extent to which the agreement from last month has stemmed that tide?”

“Dr Dhingra, I wanted to ask you about the trade agreement. In your previous hearing and your questionnaire you wrote in quite some detail about the complexity of understanding the multi‑layered impact of Brexit and the timing of Brexit in relation to the pandemic and the Russian war in Ukraine. Do you feel as th…”

“I wanted to ask Ms Breeden about how the impact of the UK-EU arrangements has perhaps affected our stability in relation to the US tariffs.”

“Previously, the Bank has estimated that the trade and co‑operation agreement reduced UK productivity by 3.25% compared to EU membership. At what point will you be able to estimate how the new agreements compare to that?”

“Governor, you have talked about the importance of trade deals. What is your assessment of the significance, in terms of growth and inflation, of the recent UK-EU trade deal?”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms McVey. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Walthamstow (Ms Creasy) and the hon. Member for Boston and Skegness (Richard Tice) for securing this debate. I welcome this chance to move on and let it go, and to test and reflect on the outcome of the EU-UK summit. That fo…”

“I thank my hon. Friend for the time she spent with me and my constituents of the Hyde Park estate to discuss tackling some of the high service charges they are facing. Does she agree that it is vital that the Government continue to make progress on the regulation of managing agents so that these high costs are clamped …”

“7. What steps the Church Commissioners are taking to ensure value for money for leaseholders.”

“I thank the Minister for his encouraging remarks about the progress of the UK-EU deal. Does he agree that the changes that we are making will support the vitality of London’s west end, and provide a strong foundation for tackling the issue of carnets in our future negotiations with the EU, so that we can continue this …”

“I hope that the right hon. Gentleman has a wonderful time on his holidays. I will be spending much of the upcoming recess in the UK at the seaside, and I hope that other people who want to take their holidays in other places will be able to benefit from the EU summit. I am sure that businesses in the UK tourism and hos…”

“I am interested in the hon. Member’s economic analysis. Does he really think that the economic consequences of Brexit could only have started in 2021, at the moment when we actually left the European Union, and not when the decision was made?”

“I have spent quite a lot of time in Spalding and Skegness, and I would be very happy to knock on thousands of doors there, but that is not what I wanted to ask about. Is the hon. Gentleman absolutely certain that there is nobody in his constituency who would like to take up the opportunity of having an experience in th…”

“Also known as the hon. Member who wants to go back to Skegness seaside at some point to remember her childhood. The hon. Gentleman has not answered my question: is he certain that there is nobody in his constituency who could benefit from a youth experience scheme, even though that could actually enhance their employme…”

“Ms Allen, you talked about not being part of the financial inclusion taskforce.”
