In common with countries around the world, the UK is experiencing global inflationary forces. Will the Chancellor make a statement on his departmental responsibilities to address this issue?

Many people are grateful to the Chancellor for all the support he has given to help people with their energy bills, but many businesses are also struggling with very high energy bills. Will he consider giving further support to businesses to help them through that, preferably through cutting their taxes?

Consumer confidence is at its lowest level since records began because working people have less money to spend. Does the Chancellor realise that, to avoid a cost of living calamity, he must address the stagnant wage crisis created by Tory policies?

Some 4.8 million people in Britain are paid less than a real living wage. That includes cleaners, caterers and security guards employed by the Government. Will the Chancellor guarantee that all those who work for Government, whether directly or through a contractor, will be paid a real living wage from now on?

The Chancellor is familiar with the opportunities in northern Lincolnshire and the wider Humber region to advance economic growth; what plans does he have to develop the infrastructure and support local authorities to achieve that?

Recently, it was revealed that Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs is failing to use the third-party data information that we get through international agreements to investigate how much tax is being evaded through offshore assets. Given that £850 billion is held offshore, with two thirds of it stashed in known tax havens, either Ministers are content for the super-rich to evade paying their fair share in the knowledge that their offshore wealth is not being systematically checked, or they will direct HMRC to use this reporting data.

The global cost of living crisis is affecting many of our constituents, so it is welcome that those on means-tested benefits—one in three households—will receive £1,200 in support from the Government this year. When will that vital support be hitting bank accounts?

In his answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Glasgow Central (Alison Thewliss), the Chancellor boasted about not investing in tackling child poverty or supporting carers unlike the Scottish Government. May I suggest that instead of boasting about the social insecurity system, he tries looking at and replicating the Scottish child payment and the carer's allowance supplement?

It has recently got planning permission, and its designs were shown last week to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Will my right hon. Friend the Chancellor or the Chief Secretary to the Treasury commit to working with me to make sure that the hospital is built on schedule?

The recent announcement by the Chancellor on support with energy bills was welcome, but I remain deeply concerned that my constituents living in park homes may not receive the same support. Will the Chancellor confirm a firm commitment to ensure that park home residents do not miss out on this vital support?

I am aware that my right hon. and learned Friend recently responded to a written question from my hon. Friend on the subject, but will she consider an early review of the VAT threshold due to the increase in labour or materials costs for small and medium-sized enterprises?

Has the Chancellor seen the recent assessment from the Local Government Association showing that, with inflation now higher than expected, it will cost local councils £2.4 billion extra this year? What steps will he and the Levelling Up Secretary take to have talks with the LGA about extra help for local authorities so that we do not get another round of austerity?

Will my right hon. and learned Friend assure me that the next move in taxes will be downwards and that that will happen at the first available opportunity?

They are concerned that those costs are being disproportionately felt in rural areas. Does the Treasury share that assessment? Will it consider bringing forward bespoke measures to support the rural economy?

I am concerned about our country's highest tax burden since the 1950s and acknowledge that my right hon Friend the Chancellor has been bringing taxes down more recently. However, with inflation at high levels, now is not the time for dramatic cuts but once inflation starts to recede, particularly at the end of this year or into next year, we will have an opportunity to introduce serious tax cuts to drive growth and job creation.

Unpaid carers have seen their bills soar during this cost of living crisis. The Government decided last month to exclude hundreds of thousands of state pension age carers from the £650 support package by not including carer's allowance in qualifying benefits, risking even more financial hardship for unpaid carers.

I am concerned about the potential impact that changes to tax policy on electricity generators might have on investment in UK's clean, low-carbon energy infrastructure. Has my right hon Friend considered these impacts?

With the cost of living crisis and high inflation, there is a need to consider increasing the rural fuel rebate from 5p/litre to at least 10p/litre to help those affected by these price increases.

Getting more of the economically inactive back into work is key to filling the labour shortages we face. Does my right hon Friend agree that measures such as £1.1 billion in support for disability employment will help strengthen our economy?

Given the £11.8 billion lost to fraud during the pandemic, will the Chancellor publish a real-time dashboard on the recovery of public funds?

The law around IR35 is loosely defined, resulting in HMRC using tribunals and courts to clarify case law. This has led to legal costs that impoverish or bankrupt individuals. Will the Chancellor institute a review of this procedure?

TaxWatch UK has just published research showing that on a like-for-like basis, the tax gap—or the money lost every year through unpaid tax—has gone up for two years in a row. That is before we include in the figures the estimated amount lost to error and fraud through the HMRC-administered covid-19 support schemes. The tax gap resulting from fraud is now 45% and stands at £14.4 billion. When will the Government do something about that? They could perhaps create a fraud Minister with the remit of tackling this growing problem, which takes money from other parts of the economy.
