In the midst of economic uncertainty following the mini-budget unveiled by new Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, the Manchester Evening News asked every Tory MP for their views on tackling the crisis. Not one replied.
Greater Manchester has eight Conservative MPs, representing residents in Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Trafford, Leigh and parts of Rochdale. The M.E.N. approached each one for comment on Wednesday afternoon (September 28).
The mini-budget, unveiled by Mr Kwarteng on September 23 included a series of tax cuts - the most notable of which featured an end to a cap on bankers' bonuses. Since then the value of the pound plummeted and cause widespread market turmoil.
