Minimum Wage
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when he plans to remove minimum wage age bands.
Answered by Justin Madders
The Government is committed to ensuring that every adult worker benefits from a genuine living wage, and we will remove the discriminatory age bands for adults.
From April 2025, we are boosting the National Minimum Wage for 18–20-year-olds by 16.3% or £1.40 to £10.00 per hour, a record increase and a significant step towards our commitment.
