Presentation and First Reading

Jesse Norman accordingly presented a Bill to make provision imposing a tax (to be known as the health and social care levy), the proceeds of which are payable to the Secretary of State towards the cost of health care and social care, on amounts in respect of which national insurance contributions are, or would be if no restriction by reference to pensionable age were applicable, payable; and for connected purposes.

Bill read the First time; to be read a Second time tomorrow, and to be printed (Bill 160) with explanatory notes (Bill 160-EN).
