Baroness Altmann (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 March 2026

Debate

National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pensions Contributions) Bill

Contribution

Can the noble Lord explain to the House why it is okay for those whose contributions are lower than £2,000 to get this special advantage of salary sacrifice, while those not lucky enough to have an employer with salary sacrifice should be denied it? The issue seems to be the salary sacrifice itself. The noble Lord is saying it is an anomaly, but the fact that people are getting it because their employer is using salary sacrifice and then you are taking it away does not make things fairer, as far as I can see.
