Debate

National Insurance: Charity Sector

Contribution

I thank the Minister for her Answer. In an open letter to the Chancellor, co-signed by 7,361 charities, the National Council for Voluntary Organisations gave as its initial estimate of the impact of the proposed increase in the employer national insurance contribution on charities an additional annual bill of £1.4 billion. This will have a devastating impact on the sector and the services it provides. Does the Minister agree that we have to protect our valuable charity sector by exempting it from this damaging national insurance increase in the same way that the Government are protecting the public sector from the impact of these increases?
