Schedule 1 - minor and consequential amendments
National Insurance Contributions and Statutory Payments Bill
3:00 pm
Mr Mark Prisk (Hertford and Stortford, Conservative)
Schedule 1 is the most difficult part of the Bill to consider. Sadly, I have not found something missing, unattached and hoping to find a home. However, I have looked through the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992—some might argue that I ought to get out more often. However, rather than try to scrutinise the elements of the schedule, which amends five or six different pieces of legislation, I simply ask the Paymaster General to confirm that, first, there are no adverse changes that will materially affect employers or employees that the Committee has not been made aware of. Secondly, will she also confirm that the proposals contain nothing that she believes will significantly change the revenue collected by the Government once the Bill is enacted?
