Employers' Contributions: Government Departments

Asked by Priti PatelConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 11 November 2024UIN 12264

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Autumn Budget 2024, published on 30 October 2024, HC 295, what the Resource DEL provided to each Department in respect of the impact of the changes to employers National Insurance Contributions will be.

Answered by James Murray

The Government will provide support for departments and other public sector employers for additional Employer National Insurance Contributions costs only. This funding will be allocated to departments, with the Barnett formula applying in the usual way.

This is in line with the approach taken under the previous Government’s Health and Social Care Levy.

The Government plans to update Parliament on allocations by department in the usual way as soon as possible.
