Autumn Budget 2026

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 12 October 2026

That this House notes the extent of widening inequality in the UK, that the top 50 richest families now hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population and that there has been nearly 1000% increase in the wealth of UK billionaires since 1990; further notes that a dynamic study commissioned by Patriotic Millionaires and conducted by Dr Ben Tippett on the Sunday Times Rich List reported that £160 billion could have been raised for the UK's public finances over the past 35 years if those on the Rich List were annually taxed 2% on their net wealth, whilst their share of the wealth would still have increased from 1.7% to 2.7%; believes that moderate taxes would not provoke capital flight as lobbyists assert and is repeated by some media and commentators; also notes that an EU Commission study (2026) of 7 countries found negligible migration responses to wealth taxes; highlights considerable evidence that low taxes on wealth can be counterproductive for growth and productivity and that research by tax policy experts at CenTax and the IFS shows that equalising capital gains and income tax rates alongside introducing an investment allowance supports productivity and growth and would raise £19.7bn a year, as does taxing share buybacks and expanding NICs to income from wealth; notes the UK's tax-to-GDP ratio is around 35% according to OECD data (2024), lower than comparable G7 economies France (44%), Italy (43%), Nordic countries (41-43%); and calls on the Chancellor to reflect on these factors.

Local authority reimbursement for costs associated to families with no recourse to public funds

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 12 October 2026

That this House notes the financial pressures placed on local authorities arising from their statutory duties to support families with children who have no recourse to public funds, where assistance is required to prevent destitution; further notes concerns raised by Thurrock Council regarding the significant costs incurred in providing such support; recognises that these costs can place considerable strain on local authority budgets and reduce resources available for local residents and essential public services; believes that councils should not be expected to bear unfunded costs resulting from national immigration policy; and calls on the Government to reimburse Thurrock Council and all other local authorities for expenditure incurred in providing statutory support to families who otherwise have no recourse to public funds, funded by reducing the foreign aid budget, and to review the funding arrangements to ensure that such costs are met by central Government rather than local taxpayers.
