Employers' Contributions: Public Sector

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 5 December 2024UIN 16601

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 18 November 2024 to Question 13512 on Employers’ Contributions: Public Sector, if she will publish a list of each public body within the public sector boundary for the purpose of compensation for the National Insurance rise in the Autumn Budget 2024.

Answered by Darren Jones

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.
