Sir Gavin Williamson

Conservative — Stone, Great Wyrley and Penkridge

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 March 2025

Debate

National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman makes an interesting point, but let us look at children’s hospices, which will be down £4.9 million. Most funding for children’s hospices does not come from the Government; it comes from communities and from people supporting them. Can the Minister, at the Dispatch Box, assure children’s hospices such as Acorns in the west midlands that they will not be down the money that they will be losing through extra NI contributions, and that that £4.9 million will be replaced by the Government for children’s hospices?
