The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 4 November to Question 11939 on Ministry of Defence: Employers Contributions, if he will list the total cost to his Department from the employer National Insurance Contributions announced in the Autumn Budget for each remaining financial year of this Parliament.

Answered by Maria Eagle

His Majesty's Treasury has confirmed they will provide funding towards the increased cost of National Insurance contributions for the Department.

The additional cost of employer National Insurance contributions in future years will be subject to changes in workforce numbers and pay. Budgets beyond next financial year will be subject to the second phase of the Spending Review.
