05.12.2013 for immediate release: Local MP, Greg Barker, has today welcomed the Autumn Statement, which sets out the next steps in the Government’s long-term economic plan.
He has also welcomed measures in the Autumn Statement to help hardworking people living in the Bexhill and Battle constituency.
Greg commented:
“There is good news for people in the Bexhill and Battle constituency in the Autumn Statement today – the jobs tax on all young people under 21 abolished, real help for the high street, energy bills down, fuel duty frozen, and rail fare increases frozen.
“This is all welcome support, but as the Chancellor said the job is not done.
“We are only able to help hardworking people because we have taken difficult decisions to control spending. We are building a responsible recovery and our plan is working, but we need to keep going”.
