HC Deb 22 January 1986 vol 90 cc196-7W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the cost of cutting employers' national insurance contributions by 1 per cent.

Mr. Moore

We estimate that a cut of 1 per cent. in employers' national insurance contribution rates would reduce contribution revenue by £1,630 million (Great Britain) in respect of 1986–87.
