The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether the RDEL allocation provided to his Department in the Autumn Budget 2024 includes resourcing provisions for the additional costs due to changes to employers National Insurance contributions.

Answered by Catherine West

The RDEL allocation provided in the Autumn Budget 2024 does not include provision for the additional costs due to changes to employer National Insurance contributions. HM Treasury has subsequently informed the Department that the Government will provide support for additional employer NI costs to all departments and public sector employers and will set out allocations by department in due course.
