Chris Chope Seeks Clarity from Boris Johnson the Prime Minister on Social Care Reform w/out Tax Increases and the Pandemic.

Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch

If there had not been a pandemic, how would we have funded this reform of social care without having to raise taxes?

Boris Johnson The Prime Minister, Leader of the Conservative Party, The Prime Minister

The pandemic and the cost of the pandemic have impacted both our health and our social care systems. As I have tried to explain to the House today, they are intimately related. The best way to put them on a sound footing—both of them on a sound footing—for the future is to treat them together and to put in the levy in the way that we are.
