Clause 9 - Compliance regime for statutory sick pay and statutory maternity pay: Great Britain
National Insurance Contributions and Statutory Payments Bill
2:30 pm
Mr Norman Lamb (North Norfolk, Liberal Democrat)
I welcome you to the Chair, Mr. Griffiths. You had the good fortune not to hear the earlier part of what I have to say, and Labour Members will be delighted to hear that I have nearly finished.
My last point is about the range of compliance regimes in the Inland Revenue. The Library note on the Bill refers to the regime for the national minimum wage. The Bill seeks to achieve consistency of approach, so that the compliance regime is the same for statutory maternity pay and statutory sick pay as for the other new benefits and for tax and national insurance. Will the Minister confirm whether compliance regimes across the Inland Revenue are consistent?
