Labour — Gloucester

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2026

Debate

Youth Unemployment

Contribution

As my previous career was in advising businesses up and down the country, I take some issue with the hon. Lady’s point that there is no experience among Labour Members. She says that taxes, particularly the rise in national insurance, are causing the rise in youth unemployment, but does she know at what level of income young people, specifically those under 21, start to attract national insurance contributions?
