National Insurance Contributions Bill

I do not think I heard a single speech from either side of the Chamber that suggested in any way that those benefits should not flow to certain businesses. The question that was repeatedly asked and which the Economic Secretary and her colleagues failed to answer is why those businesses are favoured, not only when they are specifically not the ones in the areas that will produce the economic growth that hon. Lady indicates is required from the policy, but because of the manifest unfairness that will result from their distribution.
