Lord Touhig (Lab)
The number of apprentices who did not receive the legal minimum wage has increased by 45%. This is against the law. What are the Government doing about it?
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
The Government are adhering to the minimum wage. That has been made clear several times at the ballot box. The minimum wage is there for employers to follow and the Government are supporting it across the country.
