answer text <p>I have regular discussions with my Cabinet colleagues on a range of issues, including National Insurance contributions (NICs).</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to responsible management of the public finances. That is why the Government has taken the tough but responsible decision to increase taxes, introducing a UK-wide 1.25% Health and Social Care Levy based on NICs, in order to fund a significant increase in permanent spending on the NHS and social care. <ins class="ministerial">There is a significant Union dividend for Wales within this levy, meaning that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will benefit by around 15% more than is generated from their residents, equivalent to around £300 million every year on average.</ins></p><p> </p><p>Regarding the impact on households; NICs is progressive, the Primary Threshold means that the lowest earners do not pay any NICs. The highest earning 15% will pay over half the revenues raised by the Levy and 6.1 million people earning less than the Primary Threshold (equivalent to £9,880 a year in 2022-23) will not pay the Levy.</p><p> </p><p>Regarding the impact on businesses; while it is fair that businesses contribute, as they benefit from having a healthy workforce, big businesses will pay the most. 70% of the money raised from business will come from the biggest 1% of employers (those with at least 250 employees). Just under 40% of all employers with employer NICs/Levy liabilities (630,000 employers) are expected not to pay the Levy due to the Employment Allowance. The next 42% of businesses (675,000 employers) will face an average increase of £475 per year, less than 1% of their overall wage bill.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p><del class="ministerial">The UK Government works closely with international partners and major multinationals to encourage them to become more sustainable.</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">As an example in December 2021 under UK's Presidency of the G7, Ministers met with CEOs and seniors from 19 major food and agriculture companies to launch the G7 Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSI). This is a new commitment of 22 leading food and agriculture companies headquartered in G7 countries to take action to improve the environmental and social impact of their supply chains and business operations. Ahead of COP26, we set up a business advisory council of global leaders from the private sector, encouraging members to work with their peers and supply chains to drive action. This group includes Ikea, Unilever and is co-chaired by Legal and General Investment Management's CEO. Further, we have encouraged companies to sign up to Race to Zero, requiring businesses to set net zero targets by 2050 and have credible action plans to get there. By Jan 2022, over 5000 companies had joined. (SDG13: Climate Action)</del></p><p><ins class="ministerial">We work closely with international partners and major multinationals to encourage them to become more sustainable. The UK government is a signatory to the 1976 OECD Declaration on International Investment and MNEs which adopted the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, and has consistently supported the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We support codes of conduct, certificates and standards organisations which encourage businesses to be socially responsible, environmentally sound and help defeat modern slavery across their value chains.</ins></p>

answer text <p>We are concerned that the Ugandan novelist, Kakwenza Rukirabashija, following a series of tweets, was detained at his home on 28 December 2021 and then held without charge for 14 days at an unknown facility. Using legislation, such as the Computer Misuse Act, to stifle freedom of expression is very worrying. We welcome the decisions of the Chief Magistrate's Court and the High Court in relation to Rukirabashija's release and habeas corpus. We note, however, that Rukirabashija was subsequently charged and placed on remand.</p><p>We urge the Government of Uganda to ensure that the rule of law is upheld as a vital component of democracy. Rukirabashija must be afforded all of his rights under the Constitution of Uganda, including access to legal representation. <ins class="ministerial">I (Minister for Africa) expressed the importance of upholding human rights with the President of Uganda during my visit to Uganda on 19 January 2022.</ins> Our High Commission in Kampala issued a tweet on 7 January publicly stating our concern over Rukirabashija's continued detention. The High Commission has also set out our concerns over his detention with the Government of Uganda, Uganda's human rights institutions and the security services. We have urged all to ensure that Uganda honours its constitutional commitments and international human rights law.</p>
