Sir Roger Gale

Conservative — Herne Bay and Sandwich

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 March 2025

Debate

National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill

Contribution

It is worse than that, is it not? The money that is being paid to bail out Demelza and Shooting Star children’s hospices is being generously donated by people who have already paid tax. Those working people are effectively being taxed twice on the money they are generously giving to support some of the most needy children in this country—needy in terms of health. Is that not absolutely appalling?
