Lord Johnson of Lainston (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 November 2025

Debate

National Insurance: Partnerships

Contribution

My Lords, I think there may be a misunderstanding about what LLP structures are. Will the Minister agree with me on the importance of these structures, which enable people to pool their own labour? This is not a loophole; it is an opportunity for people to come together, and they are effectively charging tax on employing themselves. Will the Minister agree with me that, in principle, LLPs are a good idea, and that getting rid of them would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater? We have just had a baby in the Chamber, so I am very reminded of that. If he could answer my question, I would be very grateful.
