Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Simon Clarke and Philip Dunne

Tuesday 17th May 2022 Commons Chamber

[Mr Clarke]

We are clear that we have a plan for jobs and a plan for growth, and that we will get through the current crisis and deliver a much better future for the people of this country on the other side of what have been a remarkable couple of years and a very difficult one for the whole developed world.
