Low Pay: Resolution Foundation Report
Debate between Lord Stoneham of Droxford and Lord Ashton of Hyde
Lord Ashton of Hyde
The noble Lord is being a bit mischievous in trying to get me to give guarantees on behalf of every government department. I agree with him that it is a recognisable and suitable aspiration and we would like to do that.
Lord Stoneham of Droxford (LD)
My Lords, after the success of the coalition Government in raising employment and tax thresholds, is the next priority to raise the contribution rate for national insurance?
Lord Ashton of Hyde
I am not in a position to answer that but I will write to my noble friend.
