<p>Based on data held centrally by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) together with
information provided by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which has responsibility
for enforcing the law in relation to the National Minimum Wage, I have established
(a) three referrals were made to the CPS from HMRC in 2010-2011. No referrals were
made in the financial years 2011-2012, 2012-2013 or 2013-2014. (b) One prosecution
commenced in 2011-2012 from the three cases referred in 2010-2011. (c) One conviction
is recorded in 2010-2011 (referred in 2009/10) and one conviction in 2012-2013 (referred
in 2010/11). This information represents the period of 2013-14 and the preceding three
financial years.</p><p>HMRC also has civil enforcement powers to secure and punish
in cases of non-compliance.</p><p> </p>
