Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on National Insurance Contributions Bill.


National Insurance Contributions Bill

I welcome the hon. Gentleman's comment about simplifying the national insurance system. Would it not be even simpler to introduce a standard percentage all the way up the income scale? That would generate a lot more income for the Treasury, which could then be given to pensioners, the health service or whatever.
