Conservative — Wyre Forest

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 January 2026

Debate

National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pensions Contributions) Bill

Contribution

I completely agree. That is a fundamental problem. We are doing completely the wrong thing for people who want to do the right thing. We are disincentivising people taking responsibility for their future at a time when the state pension is coming under a lot of pressure. It is expected in 11 or 12 years, I think, that less money will be paid into the pension schemes pot than is withdrawn by those of us who are approaching retirement—I declare an interest, in my own case.
