<table><tbody><tr><td><p>The UK Living Wage (sometimes referred to as the ‘Real Living
Wage’) and the London Living Wage, are both voluntary rates set by the Living Wage
Foundation. These are not statutory figures which relate to the government policy
in this area, and so are not legally binding on employers. The statutory minimum rates
are the National Living Wage and the National Minimum Wage. For comparison, the National
Living Wage is currently £7.83 per hour, and increased by 4.4% in April 2018. The
increases in the National Living Wage and the National Minimum Wage have produced
increases for over 2 million workers this year, across the economy, and increased
pay by £2,000 for those on the minimum rate, since these statutory arrangements were
introduced. All MoJ employees are paid at least the National Minimum Wage and the
National Living Wage. 395 staff employed by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ HQ, HMCTS,
LAA, OPD and CICA) and 24 by HMPPS work inside Greater London are paid at a rate below
the London Living Wage of £10.20 per hour. 7471 staff employed by the Ministry of
Justice (MoJ HQ, HMCTS, LAA, OPD and CICA) and 6374 by HMPPS work outside Greater
London are paid at a rate below the London Living Wage of £10.20 per hour.</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
