PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(4 February 2025)

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has provided funding from the public purse to offset the impact of changes to employers’ National Insurance contributions on public sector arms-length bodies.

Asked by:
Blake Stephenson (Conservative)

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, which is in line with the approach taken under the previous Government’s Health and Social Care Levy.

The Government plans to publish allocations for departments alongside departmental budgets for 2025/26 as part of Mains estimates.
