answer text <p>The Government is committed to helping the lowest paid. We are the first government to introduce a compulsory Living Wage. From 1<sup>st</sup> April 2016, the new National Living Wage was introduced for workers aged 25 and above, initially set at £7.20 per hour.</p><p>The Chancellor announced a further increase to the National Living Wage in the Autumn Statement. As of 1<sup>st</sup> April 2017, the National Living Wage will be set at £7.50 per hour.</p><p>The Low Pay Commission advises the Government on the rate of annual increases required to achieve a National Living Wage that will represent 60% of median earnings by 2020. The Low Pay Commission amended its recommendations this year to meet this target, based on the latest market forecasts. In light of these changes, government departments are currently reviewing the cost and number of civil servants that will benefit from future National Living Wage increases.</p> more like this

answer text <p>In future, all families - those in receipt of benefits and those supporting themselves solely through work - will be faced with the same sorts of financial considerations when making decisions about having more children. At Summer Budget 2015 the Government announced that families will no longer be able to claim additional support through Child Tax Credit (CTC) for third or subsequent children in a family where the child is born after April 2017. This policy was legislated for in the Welfare Reform and Work Act which received royal assent in March and will come into effect from April 2017.</p> more like this
