HC Deb 26 March 1998 vol 309 c263W
Mr. Dorrell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will estimate the extra cost to(a) primary and (b) secondary schools of the changes to employers' national insurance contributions announced in the Budget. [36084]

Mr. Byers

The overall effect on schools of the changes to employers' national insurance contributions announced in the Budget should be broadly neutral. Within that, we estimate a decrease in costs for primary schools of about £5 million and an increase in costs for secondary schools of about £5 million.
