<p>This government is committed to paying people a proper living wage, which is being
addressed through the statutory National Living Wage. In April 2020, the National
Living Wage increases to £8.72 per hour. By 2024 the National Living Wage will rise
to £10.50 per hour, reaching 66% of median UK earnings. The scope will be expanded
to everyone aged 21 and over and is expected to benefit over 4 million low paid workers.</p><p>
</p><p>All civil servants are paid at least the current statutory National Minimum
or National Living Wage rates of £7.70 and £8.21 per hour respectively. The total
number of civil servants in HM Treasury paid below £8.72 and £9.30 per hour was 0
(0% of all staff) as at 31<sup>st</sup> December 2019. The total number of civil servants
in HM Treasury paid below £10 per hour was less than 5 (>1% of all staff) as at
31st December 2019. For the statutory NLW rate of £8.72 that applies from April 2020,
the numbers are based on the total population regardless of whether they have reached
the eligible age of 25 to receive the NLW.</p>
