Wage in 2013/14.</p><p>We have increased the budget allocation for National Minimum
Wage enforcement in 2014/15 to £9.2m. This extra funding will enable HMRC to increase

to respond to every complaint made to the Pay and Work Rights Helpline, will also
undertake targeted enforcement, focusing on the worst offending employers in the highest-risk
