In April 2019, the National Living Wage increased to £8.21 per hour, handing a full-time worker a further £690 annual pay rise. By 2024 the National Living Wage will rise to £10.50 per hour, reaching 66% of median UK earnings. The scope will be expanded to everyone aged 21 and over and is expected to benefit over 4 million low paid workers.</p><p> </p><p>The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales is not an employer in its own right and so has no direct employees nor does it contract for outsourced staff. Staff at the Office are Ministry of Justice (MoJ) employees and agency staff are engaged through MoJ contracts. No MoJ employees nor any agency staff working at the Wales Office are paid less than the London Living Wage.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 28/10/2019 11:22:13 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
