The Bishop of St Albans asked a question on concern in the charity sector over rises in National Insurance on 12th February 2025:

The Lord Bishop of St Albans: My Lords, there is great concern in the charitable sector about these increases. Can the Minister tell us whether His Majesty’s Government are monitoring the effect on the charitable sector?

Lord Livermore (Lab, Treasury): We of course monitor the effect of all our policies on all sectors of the economy. We have increased the amount of money going to charities, and we will stand by that increased investment.
