<p>The introduction of the National Living Wage in April 2016 marked an important
step towards building an economy that works for everyone. At £7.20, it represented
a 50p increase on the National Minimum Wage, and a pay rise for over a million low
paid workers across the UK, many of whom will be in low income households.</p><p>
</p><p>The estimated impacts of the National Living Wage are set out in the impact
assessment and Annex B of the Office of Budget Responsibility’s July Economic and
Fiscal Outlook (available at http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2016/9780111141625/impacts/2016/3
and http://budgetresponsibility.org.uk/docs/dlm_uploads/July-2015-EFO-234224.pdf respectively).</p>
