Lords Briefing pack by Russell Taylor. It was first published on Friday, 6 November 2015. It was last updated on Friday, 6 November 2015.

In the Queen’s Speech on 27 May 2015, the Government announced it would implement a five-year tax lock ensuring there are no income tax, VAT or National Insurance rate rises in this Parliament. The National Insurance Contributions (Rate Ceilings) Bill would legislate for the National Insurance aspect of that commitment, and would protect against any rise in National Insurance Contributions for the next five years, or any increase in the Upper Earnings Limit.
