BBC: Employers' Contributions

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 8 January 2025UIN 21406

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to support the BBC with the cost of employers’ National Insurance contributions.

Answered by James Murray

The Government will provide support for departments and other public sector employers for additional Employer National Insurance Contributions costs. This funding will be allocated to departments, with the Barnett formula applying in the usual way. This will be in line with the approach taken under the previous Government’s Health and Social Care Levy. Details of the funding set aside for 2025-26, including its allocation, will be published in due course.
