Written Question
Minimum Wage: High Peak
Wednesday 31st July 2024

Asked by: Jon Pearce (Labour - High Peak)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what estimate his Department has made of the number of people on minimum wage in High Peak constituency.

Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

The Department previously estimated that around 1,000 employee jobs were covered by the National Minimum and Living Wage in the High Peak constituency in 2020.

More recent estimates based on the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings are subject to a high level of uncertainty due to lower-than-usual achieved sample size.

Therefore, the Department is unable to provide a more recent estimate, as per the Code of Practice for Statistics.
