What the petition asks
Employers can apply in Freeports for reduced NI contributions for new employees. This should not be allowed to happen. They should pay the normal amount as exists outside Freeports.
Any reduction in NI contributions will reduce the amount of money available to workers for State Pension and healthcare, not only in Freeport areas, but also throughout the country.
