Debate between Caroline Nokes and Helena Dollimore

Wednesday 18th March 2026 Commons Chamber

[Helena Dollimore]

The Opposition talk about amnesia. Does my hon. Friend agree that it is they who have collective amnesia about the system they created? My generation certainly do not have amnesia about the debt repayments we made when Liz Truss crashed the economy and sent interest rates soaring—that is what the Conservatives presided over. We do not have collective amnesia about them abolishing maintenance grants for the lowest income students. It is this Government who are acting for my generation with the Renters’ Rights Act 2025—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Caroline Nokes)]

Order. I just remind Members that interventions need to be shorter than that.
