Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 September 2026

Debate

Tax Burden and Economic Growth

Contribution

My Lords, there is a strong argument that the businesses hit hardest by the tax rises—notably in employers’ NICs—are small businesses with more than seven employees and medium-sized businesses. Have the Government done work to look at the impact of growth on that specific sector? It is crucial in very disadvantaged communities, and the impact is masked by always quoting the high-level numbers.
