Proceeding contribution from Joe Robertson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 January 2025. It occurred during Debate on Employer National Insurance Contributions: Charities.


Employer National Insurance Contributions: Charities

I agree with both those points. Charities tell us that the change will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for many. I know that because, immediately before entering Parliament, I worked for a nursing charity supporting dementia carers.

The Government know the pressure created by the national insurance contribution rise. They exempted the NHS because they knew the impact it would have on healthcare, but they ignored or failed to understand the contribution that charities make to health and social care.
