Social care workers and National Insurance

Early day motion 389, tabled 11 November 2024 by Steve Darling (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 42 members.

That this House notes that social care workers should be exempt from the National Insurance tax rise announced in the Autumn Budget 2024; welcomes the extra funding provided for the NHS and other public sector organisations to cover the cost of the tax rise, but notes that the vast majority of care providers will not benefit from this help; further notes that 98% of care providers are small employers; and calls on the Government to reconsider National Insurance proposals so that care providers including care homes and those providing care in people's homes should be exempt from the National Insurance tax increase.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 40, DUP 1, Independent 1.
