The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent assessment she has made of the potential impact of increased employer National Insurance contributions on the financial resilience of charities.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

Ministers and officials across government continue to regularly meet with representatives from civil society to ensure the sector is able to voice its interests.

I debated the matter of employer National Insurance contributions and the charity sector with colleagues in Westminster Hall last year and the Hansard record is available online.
