National Insurance Contributions: Exemptions
Asked by: Claire Young (Liberal Democrat - Thornbury and Yate) Monday 2nd December 2024 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she plans to take to exempt (a) academy trusts, (b) further education colleges, (c) the NHS and (d) other public services from the increase to employer National Insurance contributions. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) As set out in the Autumn Budget, the government has set aside funding to support the public sector with employer National Insurance Contributions. The Government plans to update Parliament on allocations by department in the usual way as soon as possible.For the purposes of defining support for Employer NICs costs, the Government has used the Office for National Statistics (ONS) classification of the public sector boundary. This is the usual approach for classification of the public sector boundary, for example in relation to public sector spending, public sector borrowing and public sector debt, as was the case with the previous Government’s Health and Social Care Levy

Social Services: Finance
Asked by: Claire Young (Liberal Democrat - Thornbury and Yate) Tuesday 3rd December 2024 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to paragraph 2.72 of the Autumn Budget 2024, HC 295, what assessment she has made of the potential impact on social care of a £600 million investment. Answered by Jim McMahon - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government) This Government recognises the pressures on councils delivering social care services. Including the £600 million of new grant funding announced at the Autumn Budget, the Government is providing over £10 billion in 2025-26 Settlement funding for social care through the Market Sustainability and Improvement Fund (MSIF), the Better Care Fund (including discharge funding), Social Care Grant, Children’s Social Care Prevention Grant and Children and Families Grant.
This funding, alongside income from unringfenced sources including council tax, can be used to address the range of pressures facing the social care sector. We provided more information on funding for local government in the Policy Statement published on 28 November, and further details will be included in the provisional Local Government Finance Settlement. |

Community Orders
Asked by: Claire Young (Liberal Democrat - Thornbury and Yate) Wednesday 4th December 2024 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of incentivising people serving non-violent custodial sentences to undertake more community service work. Answered by Nicholas Dakin - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury Prisoners serving non-violent custodial sentences currently can access community service work through Release on Temporary Licence (ROTL) during the custodial element of their sentence. Prisoners are eligible to be considered for ROTL once they have served at least half of the custodial element of their sentence, provided they are within two years of release, or once they transfer to an open prison. ROTL is an important rehabilitation tool which allows prisoners to participate in activities in the community which have been identified as serving a particular purpose in meeting their individual resettlement objectives. Suitable, risk assessed prisoners may be allowed out during the day to, for example: work, attend college, attend an interview or maintain/re-establish links with their family. This helps them develop responsibility and gain valuable skills so that they can turn their lives around upon leaving prison. |
