Today I stepped up to the dispatch box for the first time in my new role as Shadow Secretary to the Exchequer on Anneliese Dodds’ Shadow Treasury Team.

I debated the increase of Employment Allowance, which will provide some welcome assistance to small businesses and charities. On behalf of the Labour party I urged the Government to go further and move faster. Whilst I welcomed any measures to support these businesses and organisations, I reminded the Minister that the context of the current crisis means that measures need to be extended in order to give them a chance to make it through these challenging times.
