Subscribe to our daily newsletter!Shropshire's Conservative MPs have backed Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's bid to wrestle back confidence in the UK economy after Liz Truss' brief and disastrous reign as Prime Minister.
Telford Tory MP, Lucy Allan said she welcomed a number of measures, but was concerned about the tax burden on working families. Ludlow Conservative Philip Dunne added:"The new Chancellor has made no attempt to shy away from the economic reality we face. Economies around the world are currently in, or are due to enter, a recession made in Russia. The UK is not immune from global pressures resulting from the pandemic and rising energy costs resulting from Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
Montgomeryshire Conservative Craig Williams MP said: “The Chancellor’s Autumn Statement is a fair and balanced financial plan, protecting the most vulnerable within our society by increasing benefits, wages and pensions. I was also very pleased that the Government will be maintaining the Energy Support Scheme and extending it to 2024. Tax rises will only impact the highest earners in our society, which I believe is a fair system of taxation.
“The Government’s failures have already inflicted huge costs on families and now they are doubling down on the damage by hiking up taxes.
