Boris Johnson saw off a potential Tory rebellion on Wednesday over his plan to bring is £12 billion extra a year for the NHS and adult social care through a rise in national insurance.

The result was announced as 319 votes to 248, majority 71, in the chamber. But the division list only showed 317 MPs in favour of the motion.

Under the plans announced by the Prime Minister the NHS will get the bulk of the £36 billion raised in the first three years, with £5.4 billion for social care in England.

By opting to raise national insurance by 1.25 percentage points from April 2022, the Prime Minister is breaking one of his key 2019 manifesto promises.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer accused the PM of “hammering” working people while failing to offer guarantees over protecting homeowners and clearing the NHS backlog, as his party voted against the proposal.

Five Conservative backbenchers voted against the measure while another 37 did not vote – although not all would have deliberately abstained, as some would have had permission to be away from Westminster.

The result announced in the chamber meant the Government’s working majority of more than 80 was reduced to 71 – although a division list released later recorded only 317 votes for the measure.
