<p>This Government is committed to paying people a decent living wage, which is being
addressed through the statutory National Living Wage. In April 2019, the National
Living Wage increased to £8.21 per hour, handing a full-time worker a further £690
annual pay rise. 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>The Office
of the Secretary of State for Wales is not an employer in its own right and so has
no direct employees nor does it contract for outsourced staff. Staff at the Office
are Ministry of Justice (MoJ) employees and agency staff are engaged through MoJ contracts.
No MoJ employees nor any agency staff working at the Wales Office are paid less than
the London Living Wage.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
