We have set out new legislation to see stablecoins recognised as a valid form of payment in the UK.
By recognising the potential of this technology and regulating it, we can ensure financial stability and provide wider consumer payment choice.

Today I have written to the Prime Minister asking him to refer my ministerial declarations to the Independent Advisor on Ministers’ Interests.
I have always followed the rules and I hope such a review will provide further clarity.
459
The government must do everything it can to deal with the cost of living challenges faced by people in the UK.
That’s what the Prime Minister told MPs tonight and he was completely right.
Together we will get on with the job and focus on the people’s priorities.

Earlier my representatives, along with US & Canadian counterparts left today’s G20 meeting in Washington as Russian delegates spoke.
We are united in our condemnation of Russia’s war against Ukraine and will push for stronger international coordination to punish Russia. twitter.com/david_milliken…

📉 Conservative councils charge the lowest taxes in the country.
♻ Recycle more than Labour councils.
🕳 Fix on average four times as many potholes as Labour councils.
Vote @Conservatives today for lower council tax and better local services.

Growing the economy is one of the best ways to help with the cost of living and that’s why I’m pleased today’s figures show the UK economy is continuing to grow.
The economy is now bigger than it was before Covid hit, and growing faster than the US, Germany, France, and Italy.
463
I'm grateful to Sue Gray for her report and I sincerely repeat my apologies for the event I received a fine for.
The Prime Minister has apologised and lessons have been learned. I hope we can now move forward and continue delivering for the British people.

We are introducing a temporary, targeted Energy Profits Levy charged on profits of oil and gas companies at a rate of 25%.
We're also building in a new investment allowance that doubles the relief for the energy companies that invest their profits in the UK.
465
We will send a one-off £650 cost of living payment directly to around eight million of the lowest income households.
Worth over £5 billion, there will be no need for people to fill out forms – we will send the payment straight into bank accounts.
466
I’ve heard people’s concerns about the impact of the Energy Bills Support Scheme repayments on future bills.
So those repayments will be cancelled.
Furthermore, the £200 of support for household energy bills will be doubled to £400 for everyone.
467
Alongside the action we’ve already taken this year today's measures will ensure:
The vast majority of households receive £550.
Pensioners receive £850.
And almost all of the eight million most vulnerable households will receive support of at least £1,200.
Watch 👇
468
I’m proud to say that around three quarters of the total cost of living support will go to vulnerable households.

From the vaccine rollout to our response to Russian aggression, the PM has shown the strong leadership our country needs.
I am backing him today and will continue to back him as we focus on growing the economy, tackling the cost of living and clearing the Covid backlogs.

The PM has won the confidence vote and now it’s time to move forward.
Tomorrow we get back to work growing the economy and delivering better public services.

Two weeks ago we announced new cost of living support measures.

I’m sad that my colleague and friend @OliverDowden took the decision to resign this morning.
We all take responsibility for the results and I’m determined to continue working to tackle the cost of living, including delivering NICs changes saving 30 million people on average £330
473
The public rightly expect government to be conducted properly, competently and seriously.
I recognise this may be my last ministerial job, but I believe these standards are worth fighting for and that is why I am resigning.
My letter to the Prime Minister below.

Shocked to hear the news this morning about the attack on Shinzo Abe.
Violence has no place in politics and my thoughts are with his friends and family.
