Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Matt Rodda (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 July 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

My hon. Friend is making an extremely powerful speech, which focuses us, as we should be, on this vital issue. Does he agree with me that a central part of the problem many families face is that the costs of food and of rent have risen so dramatically, with the impossibility of being able to afford a home? In my constituency in Reading, it is very difficult for many people to get on to the housing ladder. Many young professionals and young families are crammed into flats, which are hugely expensive. They are also suffering

huge problems with the high cost of food. Does he agree with me that this is a very significant part of the problem?
