2022 May 17

In my speech in the Queen’s Speech debate I called for the introduction of a windfall tax to ease the cost of living crisis. On Tuesday 17 May I voted on an amendment to the Queen’s Speech tabled by HM Opposition: “At end add ‘but respectfully regret that the Gracious Speech fails to announce a windfall tax on the profits of oil and gas producers, in order to provide much-needed relief from energy price increases for households.'” 

On Tuesday 17 May 2022 I spoke in the debate on the Queen’s Speech. The Government’s legislative programme for the year ahead is set out in the Queen’s Speech. This year, 38 prospective pieces of legislation have been outlined.
