§ Mr. Richard Wainwrightasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer approximately how many additional jobs are estimated to have resulted from the abolition of national insurance surcharge to the nearest convenient date.
§ Mr. MooreNo such estimate can sensibly be made. But the abolition of NIS, and the other business tax changes in the last Budget, lessen discrimination against the employment of labour, and so are bound to be helpful to jobs.
