National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage: Low Pay Commission remit 2020

Following the confirmation in Budget 2020 that the Low Pay Commission (LPC) would be asked to make recommendations on the national living wage with a view to reaching a level of two-thirds of median earnings by 2024, provided economic conditions allow, the Government's 2020 remit to the LPC has been published. The LPC welcomed confirmation of its remit and said it will launch a consultation shortly to start the process of making recommendations on the 2021 minimum wage rates.
