§ Mr. WebbTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what has been the policy since 1989 on writing annually to those of his Department's staff who are paying reduced rates of National Insurance contributions, reminding them of the rules governing the payment of reduced rates, as recommended in the Inland Revenue guidance note on reduced rate National Insurance contributions for married women. [129483]
§ Jane KennedyThis reply covers the Headquarters of the Lord Chancellor's Department (with Associated Offices), the Court Service and the Public Trust Office. CSL Managed Services, who provide the payroll service for this Department, write each year to staff who have been identified as making reduced rate NI contributions to determine whether these contributions continue to be appropriate.
