Debate the removal of the right of British citizens abroad to pay class 2 NICs

Background
Some British citizens abroad are in low paid jobs with local salaries, and may not have been in their country of residence long enough to accrue a reasonable pension there. We also believe that we carry out cultural diplomacy and promote Britain.
