Text

I do not have that information to hand, but I am very happy to correspond with the Member to provide it, if there is up-to-date information and if that information attributes the causation of somebody's insolvency to how the Budget has left them. I support the idea of giving poorly paid workers more wages, but the Government should have offset the cost of that by taking action on the cost of living and the cost of energy, both of which are also impacting on businesses. I am happy to see whether there are figures on what the Member mentioned, and, if they are available, I will provide them.
