<p>There are 2 major contracts arranged by the core Department which employ some people
who earn less than the Living Wage or London Living Wage. Outside London, 179 people
are employed on these contracts and earn less than the Living Wage. In London, 28
people are employed on these contracts and earn less than the London Living Wage,
although 4 of those earn more than the national Living Wage.</p><p> </p><p>We do not
currently have an accurate cost estimate for ensuring that all these staff are paid
the living wage rates for the UK and London.</p><p> </p><p>It would incur disproportionate
cost to examine all our smaller contracts.</p><p> </p><p>There are currently 9 temporary
staff from employment agencies who are paid less than the UK Living Wage and employed
outside London, and none in London paid less than the London Living Wage. These numbers
can change at any time.</p>
