Commons held votes on seven Budget measures, Commons Library says

MPs held formal votes on seven Budget measures on 3 November, according to the Commons Library. Most of the Budget's tax resolutions were agreed "on the nod" with no formal vote.

The Library says the government introduced 108 ways and means resolutions after the Budget. These cover measures due to be in the Finance Bill, and the House considered each of them on 3 November.

The Conservatives had said they would vote against several of the Budget's tax rises, including the rise in alcohol duty in line with inflation and the temporary extra 3% on the bank surcharge. It is not yet clear which seven measures were put to a vote or what the results were, so it cannot yet be confirmed that these were among them.

The Library also notes that straight after the 28 October statement the Commons agreed a resolution under the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act 1968. This allowed changes to Stamp Duty Land Tax and VAT to take effect immediately.

The Chancellor, John Healey, is due to give oral evidence to the Treasury Committee on 11 November 2026, the Library says.
