The Government remains committed to enforcing the National Minimum Wage (NMW). We have more than doubled HMRC\u2019s budget for NMW compliance and enforcement since 2015 to £27.4 million for 2019/20.<\/p>

The Director\u2019s consultation revealed mixed views from stakeholders about naming; some were strongly supportive, whilst others proposed ideas for increasing its effectiveness as a deterrent to underpayment of the minimum wage.<\/p>

The Government decided to pause the naming of non-compliant employers while we determine what changes are needed to make sure the scheme continues to have resonance and acts as a tool to drive compliance.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4487", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Rochester and Strood"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kelly Tolhurst"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-19T09:25:45.213Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-06-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Minimum Wage: Enforcement"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 10 June 2019 to Question 260713 on Minimum Wage, whether the Director of Labour Market Enforcement recommended that the naming of non-compliant employers be suspended for the duration of the review of the National Minimum Wage Naming Scheme.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4607", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stephanie Peacock"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Barnsley East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephanie Peacock"} ], "uin" : "264794"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
