	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2015 answer text <p>The Government is supporting household incomes by introducing a new National Living Wage (NLW) for workers aged 25 and above from April 2016. The NLW will be introduced at a level of £7.20, 50p more than the current NMW which means a £900 p.a. increase in earnings next year for a full-time worker. By 2020 the NLW is expected to be over £9 an hour, meaning a full-time worker will earn £4,800 more than today.</p><br /><p>By 2020 it is expected that the NLW will directly benefit 2¾m workers; while up to 6m could benefit from ripple effect. A number of large employers have already started paying wages at or above the NLW level, these include Ikea, Lidl, and Morrisons.</p><br /> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 05/11/2015 15:12:29 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
