Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 December 2024. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill.
National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill
The reality is that those who own businesses in my constituency tell me that they will have to look at reducing wages and reducing numbers. Because of the Government’s policy, those working in doctors’ surgeries will have to look at a reduction in numbers as well. Whether Government Members like it or not, this measure will impact on small and medium-sized businesses and on GP surgeries. That is the reality. The Government are to blame for a recession—there really is talk about it. If a recession comes, the Labour party will be responsible.
