answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2017 answer text <p>The Government is determined that everyone who is entitled to the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and National Living Wage (NLW) receives it. Anyone who feels they have been underpaid NMW or NLW should contact the Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) reviews all complaints that are referred to them.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC does not record statistics on complaints or the outcomes of its investigations by reference to Government regions, constituencies or counties. In 2015-16, HMRC recovered its highest ever total of arrears of almost £10.3 million for over 58,000 workers from 958 employers.
