Graham Stuart

Conservative — Beverley and Holderness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 December 2024

Debate

National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill

Contribution

I am extremely grateful to the hon. Lady. She rightly highlights interest rates and mortgage payments. Was she disappointed when the OBR’s assessment of the Budget suggested that interest rates were going to stay higher for longer as a result of these measures? I invite her to discuss the topic under discussion today, rather than the past Conservative Government. We can have debates on that, but what we are trying to drill into today are the actions of this Government and their real-world impact on those who can least afford it.
