TV presenter and property expert, Kirstie Allsopp, appears alongside a senior executive from Zoopla, a former advisor to Rishi Sunak, and a property taxes expert from the Chartered Institute of Taxation as the Treasury Committee continues its series looking ahead to the upcoming Budget.

During the session, the Committee explore a range of potential property tax changes available to the Chancellor at her November Budget.

MPs are likely to question witnesses on the potential drawbacks of the current stamp duty land tax system and how it could be improved. MPs are also likely to examine Professor Leunig’s proposal to replace Stamp Duty and Council Tax with new annual taxes, given the level of media speculation that this is one of the measures being considered by the Chancellor.

Watch PMQs with British Sign Language (BSL) –

Prime Minister’s Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.

In most cases, the session starts with a routine ‘open question’ from an MP about the Prime Minister’s engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.

The Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.

The Justice Committee will hear from Sir Brian Leveson during an evidence session in Parliament examining the Independent Review of the Criminal Courts Part 1.

Discussion is expected to focus on the recommendations outlined in the ‘Leveson Review’ Part 1 published in July, relating to the Magistrates’ Court, the Crown Court and the right to trial by jury.

In December 2024, the then Lord Chancellor in a written statement to the House acknowledged that the justice system was ‘in crisis with huge delays to hearings and victims left in limbo waiting to see justice done’. The statement announced Sir Brian Leveson would ‘undertake a review of our criminal courts to consider how we can speed up the hearing of cases’.
