The MOD has not formally signed up to the Living Wage Rates, as defined by the Living Wage Foundation. In 2015 the then Secretary of State for Defence agreed that all London-based staff should be paid at least the equivalent of the Living Wage Foundation's London Living Wage rate. The MOD continues to pay above that rate.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood grouped question UIN 174106 question first answered 09/10/2018 15:05:33 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <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> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 15/10/2018 14:48:10 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
