Lord de Clifford (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 March 2026

Debate

National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pensions Contributions) Bill

Contribution

I will be extremely brief. I support all these amendments in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Neville-Rolfe. My main concern is that some basic rate taxpayers will be disincentivised from making pension contributions because of that extra 8% that they are going to pay. That will take away the real advantage that we have seen in auto-enrolment and they will opt out of those schemes because they need to fund their houses. The Government should please look at it again.
