Democratic Unionist Party — East Antrim

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 December 2024

Debate

National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill

Contribution

Is not the fact of the matter, despite what the Chancellor has said, that businesses have been abandoned? There is no safety net for them. To use the words of the Chancellor, “What we have done with the increase in employer national insurance is leave it to the business to work out”. Businesses are bearing the brunt of this, and it is really too bad. As far as the Chancellor is concerned, they will have to grin and bear it.
