National Insurance Contributions Bill

I understand the right hon. Gentleman’s remarks about the powers of the Government and I tend to agree with him about the lack of ability to amend certain statutory instruments. However, in terms of the part of the Bill that I read out, it would be open to the House in a subsequent enactment to say that new section 4C(3)(a) and so on will not apply. There could be an override, decided in the House, in subsequent legislation, so the House could have the opportunity to decide.
