We need a lot of questions answered about what is happening in those segments of the business community. If the Government have that sort of analysis, they really ought to share it with Parliament. Indeed, if they have the analysis, and if they get their skates on and publish it fairly promptly, my amendment would not even delay the implementation of the national insurance changes. If they cannot provide the analysis, however, the Government need to ask themselves whether they are right to pursue this policy choice without understanding the detailed impacts—and Parliament needs to consider whether the Bill should come into effect in an information void.
