	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2019 answer text <p>This question would be a disproportionate cost to answer, as we do not hold this information centrally. However, as this is a statutory requirement, our expectation is that 100% of organisations that hold contracts with the department will be paying the National Living Wage. If the department identified any organisation that was in breach, we would engage with them to ensure legal compliance.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 13/06/2019 13:05:23 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
