THE MP for North Swindon Justin Tomlinson has welcomed the Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne’s Autum Budget.

Mr Tomlinson said the Autumn Statement entrenches Britain’s commitment to sound public finances, sets out the next steps in our long-term economic plan to help hardworking people and proves proposals are working.

“We are seeing right here in Swindon how the economy is recovering and growing,” said Mr Tomlinson.

“New jobs, new businesses and new investment. We have taken action to rescue the broken economy and we are rightly building a long-term sustainable recovery, always putting hard working people first.”
