Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 March 2025

Debate

National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill

Contribution

The hon. Member talks about simplicity. If that is the case, why is the Government splitting the NICs? They could have introduced an increase on employees at the same time as the increase on employers, but they have decided not to do that. That would have been a simple measure to raise taxes, without creating this complication. How does that tally with his theory?
