Answer
The Government set out its position on Thursday 2nd November via a Written Ministerial Statement to the House “Update on National Insurance Contributions Bill”.
As the statement made clear, the Government has decided to implement a one year delay to allow time to engage with interested parties and Parliamentarians with concerns relating to the impact of the abolition of Class 2 NICs on self-employed individuals with low profits.
