If she will make a statement on her departmental responsibilities. Tomorrow I will present my first Budget. It will be a Budget that fixes the foundations of our economy and delivers on the promise of change.

I commend the Chancellor for recently outlining investment in social housing, but in the interim the Joseph Rowntree Foundation has stated that the previous Government's decision to freeze local housing allowance rates will push 80,000 private renters on housing benefit, including 30,000 children, into deep poverty during this Parliament. Will the Chancellor now consider unfreezing the allowance and relinking it to the actual cost of local rents, so that those families can keep their heads above water?

This are indeed our final exchanges in the House, so before tomorrow's fireworks I wish the Chancellor well for the future in her role. There has been a lot of common ground between us. For example, before the election she said that raising employers' national insurance was a jobs tax that would take money out of people's pockets. I very much agree with her on that; does she agree with herself?

We all know why the Chancellor is inventing this fictitious black hole. Thirty times this year, before the election, she promised not to raise tax, and now she is planning to present the biggest tax-raising Budget in history. More consensually, however, as this is our final exchange, I welcome her announcement last week of a £2.3 billion loan for Ukraine. Does she agree that the strongest signal of resolve that we can send to Putin is a commitment to spending 2.5% of GDP on defence, and does she understand why so many people are worried by the fact that she has yet to do so?

My constituency's beer and pub sector makes a significant contribution to the economy, both locally and nationally. Our 76 pubs and two breweries generate £23 million in tax receipts each year. Will the Chancellor work with the sector to unlock its growth potential, in Newcastle-under-Lyme and across our country?

The Chancellor recently announced an extra £550 million for the school rebuilding programme. Can she now confirm that all the schools on that programme, including Bramhall high school, are fully funded and will get their repairs soon?

I would like to ask a question that comes out of local government. One of the frustrations that I found after 14 years in local government was that short-term cuts can often end up costing more in the long run—an example that always comes to mind is youth services. What does the Chancellor make of the Local Government Association's call for spending on prevention to be routinely considered in both Treasury and departmental spending decisions, and for better tracking of long-term outcomes?

Many households are facing homelessness due to increasing household costs. What support can the Chancellor provide to them?

I was the leader of South Ribble borough council in Lancashire, where we continually struggled to set meaningful budgets. Will Ministers please assure me that the proposals being considered in tomorrow's Budget will see an end to the fragmented annual public sector funding allocations and a reintroduction of meaningful, forward-thinking, multi-year settlements?

During my SEND summit in Bodmin on Saturday, teachers and parents revealed the shocking extent of our broken special educational needs system. Thousands are struggling to get the support they need. What are Treasury Ministers doing to ensure that local councils and schools are properly resourced to deliver an effective SEND system?

Residents in my constituency are still feeling the pinch from Liz Truss's mini-Budget. It is vital that this Government fix the foundations of our economy to deliver proper public services. Can the Chancellor tell me how she will deliver this for the north-east and for people across the country?

Eighty-two per cent of those who have seen Labour take away their winter fuel payment are either below the poverty line or within £55 a week of it. How can the Government justify this, when they are not even allowing a freedom of information request from the Financial Times to be responded to?

Residents in my constituency are still feeling the pinch from Liz Truss's mini-Budget. It is vital that this Government fix the foundations of our economy to deliver proper public services and a rise in living standards. Can the Chancellor tell me how she will deliver this for the north-east?

Small business owners are some of the hardest-working people that I know. The Labour party struggled to define them over the weekend. Does the Chancellor agree that any rise in fuel duty would be a tax on those hard-working people?

Can the Minister update the House on how the Government will help to secure better returns for pensioners while also unlocking opportunities for pension savings to help generate growth?

Countryside Alliance research shows that rural households spend up to £800 a year more on fuel than urban households. Will the Chancellor protect rural communities in the Budget tomorrow?

This Government have inherited a Britain that is now the most unequal country in the G7 bar America. The UK's 50 richest families own 50% of the country's wealth. What steps will be taken to address this inequality?

The hon. Member noted that in South Devon, the average house price is now 14 times the average salary at £425,000. She asked what measures the Chancellor is taking to ensure that rural and coastal areas such as the South Hams will be included in economic growth initiatives.

'Buy now, pay later' is attractive to young people who rely on irregular income. The hon. Member asked for assurances that the Chancellor's regulations will protect this group from problematic debt.

The hon. Member inquired about the Chancellor's plan to fulfill Labour's previous pledge of cutting energy bills by £300 and requested a specific timescale for implementation.

The hon. Member questioned if the Chancellor would look specifically at debt allocations and HRA accounting to unlock much-needed investment in new council homes as requested by a hundred councils.

The hon. Member asked if the Chancellor would consider exempting individuals earning up to £300 per week from paying income tax, particularly those on low incomes or part-time employees.
