HC Deb 23 January 1978 vol 942 c486W
Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the yield of employers' national insurance contributions in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Orme

On the assumptions used in the Government Actuary's report on the 1978–19 contribution rates (Cmnd. 7036), the total yield from employers' national insurance contributions, including the National Health Service redundancy fund and maternity pay fund elements, in the United Kingdom for the tax year 1977–78 is estimated to be about £5,800 million.

In addition, it is estimated that the yield of the national insurance surcharge will be £1,320 million.
