Sir Jeremy Hunt corrected the Commons record on Topical Questions
The words were spoken in the Commons on 21 March 2023. The correction was made by letter from the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Jeremy Hunt), and printed in Hansard's Written Corrections on 22 March 2023. The figure £3 billion in the original became £2.3 billion in the correction. Altogether 2 words differ between the two versions.
The question
T9. OBR analysis of last week’s Budget has shown that there will be no real-terms growth in public services in 2023-24 and just 1% in 2024-25. Given the recent Patriotic Millionaires UK survey showing that more than seven in 10 millionaires want to have a fair tax on their wealth—by wealth, we are talking about £10 million of investable assets—will the Chancellor look at this?
