Baroness Taylor of Stevenage (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 January 2025

Debate

National Insurance: Employer Contributions

Contribution

The denial of responsibility from that side of the House is quite astonishing. Public services were broken by neglect from the party opposite for 14 years. I am surprised that they do not see the irony in complaining about the measures we are having to take to sort out that mess, including our commitment to an additional £680 million for social care, further funding for local government and a real-terms boost for local government funding. I would rather hear some other ideas from that side of the House than complaints about what we are doing.
