Written Question
Low Pay
Tuesday 16th November 2021

Asked by: James Grundy (Conservative - Leigh)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

What steps he is taking to increase pay for low-paid workers.

Answered by Paul Scully

In April 2022, we will increase the National Living Wage by 59p to £9.50. This puts us back on track for it to reach two-thirds of median earnings by 2024. The minimum wage increases are expected to benefit two and a half million workers across the UK next year.
