Britain’s education minister Nadhim Zahawi said on Monday he still supported a tax hike due to come in from April, after a media report suggested that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s ministers would back a delay.

Media reports say the entire cabinet would back a move to delay the rise in national insurance that is due to come in from April, the same month that energy bills are set to jump.

Zahawi said he would not back a delay because the money was needed to support Britain’s social care system adding that it is the right thing to do.
