The government is committed to making work pay and keeping more money in people\u2019s pockets.<\/p>

<\/p>

On 1 April we saw another above inflation increase to our National Living Wage, meaning a full-time worker on the National Living Wage will be earning £690 more over the coming year. And the personal allowance has increased to £12,500, meaning a typical basic rate taxpayer will pay £130 less tax than in 2018-19 and £1,205 less tax than in 2010-11.<\/p>

<\/p>

Economic growth is key to growing wages. That\u2019s why we\u2019re investing record amounts in infrastructure, supporting businesses to grow and keeping taxes low. Wages are growing strongly, at 3.2% in the latest data and have outstripped inflation for 12 consecutive months.<\/p>

<\/p>

The government has an aspiration to end low pay and will set a new remit for the Low Pay Commission, for the years beyond 2020, later this year.<\/p>

I have regular discussions with the Home Secretary and the Communities Secretary about their budgets, including the impact of any government policy that may affect local authority finances.<\/p>

<\/p>

We need to make sure our immigration system is fair, while also protecting the taxpayer. There are already exemptions to the \u2018no recourse to public funds\u2019 condition for those in genuine need, such as those facing destitution or to protect the welfare of a child. I would expect the relevant departments to raise any issues at the Spending Review, where we can consider how we fund our priorities across government.<\/p>
