Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HM Revenue and Customs holds data on the (a) number of employees, (b) salaries and (c) aggregate revenue of National Insurance contributions collected from local councils.

HM Revenue and Customs holds data on employee earnings and deductions, provided by employers in Full Payment Submissions to HMRC. However, local councils are not separately identified in HMRC data, so the requested figures are not available.
