MPs corner Hammond over NHS Brexit pledge
Dozens sign letter urging Chancellor to commit £350m

DOZENS of MPs from three parties called on Chancellor Philip Hammond yesterday to honour the £350 million pledge to the NHS made by the Vote Leave campaign during the EU referendum.

Forty-one MPs from Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party signed a letter urging him to deliver on the commitment to spend £350m a week on the NHS at the Autumn Statement next month.

The letter has been organised by the Vote Leave Watch campaign, which aims to hold the right-wing group to account for promises it made during the campaign.
