Baroness Monckton of Dallington Forest (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 October 2025

Debate

People with Disabilities: Employment

Contribution

Will the Minister agree to giving businesses an exemption or a remission from the employers’ national insurance contribution for this cohort, whose lives would be transformed by being included in the workplace and their communities?
