00:00I know that not everything, I know that not everything or everyone has survived his first
00:06hundred days in government, so can he confirm that when he promised not to raise income

00:20insurance contributions?
00:21Mr Speaker, as he well knows, I'm not going to get drawn on decisions that will be set
00:27We made an absolute commitment in relation to not raising tax on working people.
00:33I'm asking specifically about the promise he made to the British people, so let me ask
00:38him again, just to clarify his own promise, does his commitment not to raise national
00:44insurance apply to both employee and employer national insurance contributions?
00:51We set out our promises in our manifesto. We return with a huge majority to change the
00:58country for the better.
