Monica Harding

Liberal Democrat — Esher and Walton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 December 2024

Debate

National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill

Contribution

My constituency has a higher proportion of business owners, entrepreneurs, and high-growth enterprises and start-ups than many others. One of them wrote to me this week to say that they will cut their operations, and that the Budget has crashed any incentive or possibility for businesses to grow. Does the hon. Member agree that this Bill does not protect businesses or the workers they employ, and does not leave any hope for economic growth?
