	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2019 answer text <p>This government is committed to paying people a decent living wage, which is being addressed through the statutory National Living Wage. 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>Pay for grades below the Senior Civil Service is delegated to departments to determine and they will of course comply with the statutory National Living Wage. As at 31 March 2019, almost 46,000 (~11%) of civil servants earn below the Living Wage Foundation’s living wage (for those based outside of London) or London living wage (for those based inside London). It is not possible to provide a detailed breakdown by department and these estimates may differ from those calculated by departments using their internal data.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire answering member printed Simon Hart question first answered 24/10/2019 16:07:08 answering member 3944 label Biography information for Simon Hart

The number based outside London and earning below the voluntary living wage outside London (£9.00), stood at approximately 44,000.</p><p>Detailed information on the Civil Service Statistics and its data collection can be found here:<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-service-statistics-2019" target="_blank"> https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-service-statistics-2019</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire answering member printed Simon Hart question first answered 31/10/2019 15:44:05 answering member 3944 label Biography information for Simon Hart
