Proceeding contribution from Kirsty Blackman (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 April 2023. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance (No. 2) Bill.


Finance (No. 2) Bill

An awful lot of people work hard. The specific issue that many of our constituents have raised is in the NHS. I have not been approached with this concern by senior police officers, but I have been approached by NHS doctors. If the hon. Gentleman feels particularly strongly about senior police officers, he could table an amendment so that people employed in the wider public sector, or in the police service, can be included in this measure. I think both police officers and NHS staff could be included, but it would be ridiculous to include everyone, no matter how little they do for the public good.
