New Clause 26 - Review of impact of Act on job creation

Rupa Huq made a speech in the House of Commons

My hon. Friend is so much more knowledgeable than me. Lots of my constituents cannot afford to buy their own home and are in rented accommodation, so that does not even apply to them. They are in...

New Clause 26 - Review of impact of Act on job creation

Clause 71 - Review of DST

Clause 71 - Review of DST

Clause 71 - Review of DST
