	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2020 answer text <p>Defra’s facilities management (FM) contract will not be affected by the announcement on 31 December 2019 of the increase in the National Minimum Wage. This is because we require, and the contract states, that the FM provider will pay the Foundation Living Wage which is already higher than the National Living Wage. As a result there is no need for a contract variation or engagement with the supplier on this subject.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 20/01/2020 12:41:39 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
