Proceeding contribution from Rishi Sunak (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 February 2022. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Economic Update.
Economic Update
My right hon. Friend is absolutely right. Those of us in government make responsible decisions and we are honest with people. I think people respect that honesty and it is the right thing for us to do. He is right that there is a global surge in gas prices and it would be wrong to pretend that we do not have to adjust to that, but what we can do is take the sting out of that adjustment, spread its impact over time and limit its immediate impact. That is the right and responsible approach and I am grateful for his support on that plan.
