At the spending review, we enabled better investment in temporary accommodation stock and strengthened local authorities’ financial position. Those changes will support local authorities to increase the supply of good-quality temporary accommodation and drive down day-to-day spend on such accommodation.

At the spending review, we set out record investment into farming and rural communities right across this country. That is only possible because of the choices that we have made on taxation and balancing the public finances.

I thank my hon. Friend for his question and campaigning work on this. At the spending review, I announced changes to the Green Book, particularly our work on place-based business cases, looking at how spending can cumulatively benefit an area.

I thank my hon. Friend for raising this issue. The Government are fully committed to doing all they can to supporting the UK car industry to grow, invest and provide employment in constituencies such as his and in other important sites across the country. Specifically on the employee car ownership scheme, we should be clear that private use of a company car is a valuable benefit to an employee but it is also right that company car tax is paid on it, ensuring fairness with other taxpayers who pay tax on cars provided by their employers. That said, I would be happy to meet my hon. Friend and the interested parties to discuss this further.

We will set out all our Budget measures at the Budget.

The work that my right hon. Friends the Chancellor and the Prime Minister have been doing with Europe is all about taking down trade barriers where they get in the way of our national interest and economic growth. That is our priority, as well as cutting bureaucracy for businesses here in the UK.

We have made a commitment that every single primary school in England will have a library by the end of this Parliament. The Department for Education will set out the process in due course, but any primary school without a library can rest assured that it will have one soon.

We will set out the changes that we will make to business rates at the Budget.

The pride in place funding is going towards 250 communities across the country to ensure that local people are in control of investing in their local areas. I note my hon. Friend’s comments about the community that he represents. Of course, the Government’s wider agenda about driving growth, increasing people’s wages and ensuring that people are better off is central to improving the lives of his constituents and those right across the UK.

What this Government have done to steady the markets is to kick the Conservatives out of office and leave them in opposition for years to come.

My hon. Friend is a solid defender of businesses and working people in her constituency. The defence industrial strategy is about supporting British industry as we—and other countries around the world—up what we spend on defence. We want British businesses and British workers to benefit from that investment.

Mr Speaker, I am considering how to respond to that question. I will simply leave it at saying that everyone must pay their fair share of tax. That is something that the Labour party are committed to in government.

I thank my hon. Friend again for raising the opportunities in Portland. As he knows, we are working closely with Dorset council, the project and him to bring that to fruition.

We are increasing spending on research and development in real terms and in every year of this Parliament, for exactly the reasons that the hon. Gentleman mentions. But we are doing more than that: we are supporting start-up and scale-up businesses through our pensions reform, through the British Business Bank and through UK Export Finance. We are absolutely determined to ensure that the money that goes into R&D in this country turns into great businesses that stay in this country.

As the hon. Gentleman knows, that is not what I said in my speech this morning. In last year’s Budget we got rid of the non-dom tax status, introduced VAT and business rates on private schools, increased capital gains tax, taxed private jets, and eliminated carried interest—more than the Green party has ever done to reduce inequality.

As I said earlier, the proposals made by CenTax and others would result in twice as many farms paying more tax as are planned under Government’s proposals. We think our proposals are right and fair.

I absolutely agree with the hon. Lady that we should reduce the cost of asylum accommodation. Indeed, our commitment to close all asylum hotels in this Parliament is important.
