answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2016 answer text <p>The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.</p><p>I would add that the Government's National Living Wage was introduced in April 2016 for all working people aged 25 and over, and is set at £7.20 per hour. We have asked the Low Pay Commission to recommend the National Living Wage rate that should apply from April 2017, towards a target 60% of median earnings by 2020. By then, around 2.9 million people are expected to have had a pay rise, thanks directly to the National Living Wage. The Government recognises the important work undertaken by the Living Wage Foundation and we encourage employers to pay above the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage where it is affordable to do so.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 12/10/2016 05:25:32 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore attachment 1 file name PQ 47491 v 02 (002).pdf title UKSA Letter to Member - National Living Wage

tabling member printed	Martyn Day
uin	47233
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2016 answer text <p>The Government consulted on its reforms to the Civil Service Compensation Scheme and considered the responses it received from civil servants and others carefully. It held several meetings with unions during the consultation and then further meetings with unions that agreed to participate. An equalities impact assessment was published on 26 September alongside the Government’s consultation response.</p><p>The Government believes its proposed reforms will provide a firm foundation for the management of the Civil Service and its people for a generation. The new terms compare favourably with exit terms in the wider economy and will align the Civil Service Compensation Scheme with reforms across the public sector. It will support employers in managing their workforce and simplify the exit process while treating employees respectfully and fairly.</p> answering member constituency Ipswich answering member printed Ben Gummer grouped question UIN 46837 47183 47234 question first answered 14/10/2016 11:32:07 answering member 3988 label Biography information for Ben Gummer
