National Insurance Contributions (Increase of Thresholds) Bill

My hon. Friend is making a powerful speech. It is worth putting that last point in context. The chief executive

of BP made it clear that there absolutely was a windfall: the company had become a “cash machine” because of the massive rise in revenues resulting from the significant increase in the price of a barrel of oil. There is a huge opportunity to take a windfall tax now. Does my hon. Friend agree that the Government should also have looked at the supermarkets during the pandemic?
