The Low Pay Commission (LPC) continues to play a critical role in providing recommendations for the National Minimum Wage rates, and now has new responsibilities to help deliver the Governments’ ambition for the National Living Wage (NLW).

The Government will continue to set the remit for the LPC on the existing legal base.
