Proceeding contribution from Mark Garnier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 January 2026. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pensions Contributions) Bill.
National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pensions Contributions) Bill
I completely agree. That is a fundamental problem. We are doing completely the wrong thing for people who want to do the right thing. We are disincentivising people taking responsibility for their future at a time when the state pension is coming under a lot of pressure. It is expected in 11 or 12 years, I think, that less money will be paid into the pension schemes pot than is withdrawn by those of us who are approaching retirement—I declare an interest, in my own case.
