Anna Dixon, the Member of Parliament for Shipley, has today given her views on yesterday's budget from the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves.
Ms Dixon said: “I am delighted that the Chancellor personally referenced my efforts to stand up for carers in her Budget speech. She announced plans to raise the Carer’s Allowance earnings limit by £45 per week, allowing over 60,000 more carers to access the allowance.”
“I am proud of our Labour government that is fixing the foundations, delivering change by fixing the NHS, and working people face no tax rises.”
“It was fantastic to hear Rachel Reeves set out her plans today to increase the National Living Wage, take a penny off each pint, boost public investment by over £100 billion, and provide an extra £25 billion over two years for the NHS.”
“Public transport in our area is also getting an upgrade, with investment in Bradford Forster Square station, the electrification of rail between York and Manchester, and the continued development of West Yorkshire Mass Transit.”
“The Chancellor is also the first woman to deliver a Budget in this country. I hope that this, along with my election as the first woman MP for Shipley, will inspire young girls across our local area to believe that there should be no ceiling to their ambition.”
