Reeves corrected parliamentary record figures

express.co.uk

Chancellor Rachel Reeves corrected parliamentary records after misstating figures on pension schemes and unemployment rates. The Treasury amended Hansard, stating there are 86 pension authorities, not 96, and the unemployment rate is closer to 4.7%, not "just over 4%." The errors drew criticism from the opposition, with accusations of a "shocking grasp of detail" as tax hike speculation mounts for the autumn budget.
