answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2016 answer text <p>No direct employees of HM Treasury, Office of Budget Responsibility, Government Internal Audit Agency and Debt Management Office are paid less than the rate defined by the Living Wage Foundation as a living wage. No direct employees are employed on zero hours contracts.</p><p> </p><p>The Government supports businesses that choose to pay the Living Wage however our prime policy is the National Minimum Wage for the low paid. This is independently set by the Low Pay Commission at a level that maximises their wages without reducing employment prospect. It is for workers and employers to decide the level of wages above the minimum wage based on current circumstances. This includes the Government as a procurer and an employer. Over 95%, around 20 million employees earn above the minimum wage and the majority of public sector workers currently earn above the Living Wage. Government will always award contracts on the basis of the best value for money for the taxpayers – which includes the low paid.</p><p> </p><p>HM Treasury does not hold information on wages paid by our suppliers.</p> answering member constituency Brighton, Kemptown answering member printed Simon Kirby question first answered 05/09/2016 13:07:29 answering member 3929 label Biography information for Simon Kirby
