Women in the Workplace

Lord Lea of Crondall Excerpts

Thursday 9th July 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

I apologise as I only took one of the questions from the noble Lord. I have not read the report from the Resolution Foundation. I am happy to respond in writing.

[Lord Lea of Crondall (Lab)]

Are the Government relying on a magic wand to introduce the living wage, or has the legislation that will be required been thought through, and when will it be announced?

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

The living wage has been announced. I am sure that detail of its phase-in will be announced in due course.
