Scottish Parliament: Poverty ( 6 Nov 2018)

Shirley-Anne Somerville: ...to meet the ambitions of the Scottish Government and Parliament on child poverty. In the face of the welfare changes, and without having full powers over welfare, employment and the living wage, we are fighting poverty with one hand tied behind our back. All that is compounded by the systematic failure of the UK Government’s universal credit programme. When I visited Prospect Community...

6. Basic Rate Limit and Personal Allowance (Future Tax Years) ( 1 Nov 2018)

...that Act (personal allowance) to be “£12,500” for that tax year, and (c) repealing sections 57(8) and 57A of that Act (which relate to the link between the personal allowance and the national minimum wage), (and, accordingly, provision may be made for section 21 of that Act not to apply in relation to the basic rate limit for that tax year and for section 57 of that Act not to apply...

Benefits: Reductions - Motion to Take Note ( 1 Nov 2018)

Baroness Andrews: ...is worth reflecting on the years between 1997 and 2010 when we are now certain, by irrefutable measures, that child poverty fell by one-third due to a combination of more affordable childcare, the minimum wage, access to jobs, better benefits and better services—years in which family incomes grew. The years between 1997 and 2010 proved that when Governments are serious about reducing...

Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) ( 1 Nov 2018)

Mhairi Black: ...half of the cuts that were made in the 2015 Budget. Secondly, Tories often say that the best way out of poverty is through work. They preach that they were the Government who introduced a “living wage” and they arrogantly pat themselves on the back for raising it in this Budget. Again, if we scratch beneath the surface we discover they have introduced nothing of the sort. They have...

Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) (31 Oct 2018)

Jim McMahon: ...are not given full-time work, even though it is available from the employer, those people ought not have pride in their work—their terms and conditions have been eroded or they are being paid the minimum wage because employers know they will get away with it—but people do have pride. People in my town of Oldham came from all over the world to work hard and set up a new life for...

Written Answers — Department for Education: Apprentices: Minimum Wage (31 Oct 2018)

Robert Halfon: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what enforcement procedures have been put in place in England to ensure that apprenticeship providers pay their apprentices the National Minimum Wage.

Scottish Parliament: Ferry Services (31 Oct 2018)

Colin Smyth: ...to injury, the Government’s decision to charter the MV Arrow from Seatruck Ferries Ltd in order to meet growing freight demand on the route means that staff are being paid less than the national minimum wage. That needs to be tackled in future contracts, which will mean setting out unequivocal requirements on pay and conditions for all staff and, ideally, tendering for more than two...

Budget Resolutions - Income Tax (Charge) (30 Oct 2018)

Alison Thewliss: ...but still facing poverty. Cuts to universal credit mean that they will not be able to work themselves out of that poverty trap. That situation is compounded by the Chancellor’s pretendy living wage, which leaves 16 and 17-year-olds facing an increasing age pay gap. In 2017, the gap between the pretendy minimum wage and the rate for 16 and 17-year-olds was £3.45 and this year it was...

Local Government Funding: Merseyside (30 Oct 2018)

Jim McMahon: ..., adult social care and children’s services. Let us be honest—when it comes to the £410 million that is being put forward, the majority of people who work in social care are paid the minimum wage. When the national minimum wage goes up in April, those people will rightly be uplifted, but there is a cost to that for the providers. Much of the money announced in the Budget will not go...

Scottish Parliament: United Kingdom Budget (30 Oct 2018)

Derek Mackay: ...of universal credit and other pernicious policies, such as the two-child cap. We can take some comfort from the fact that we have the highest proportion of people who are paid the living wage of any UK nation—although we have more to do if we are to reach 100 per cent. Of course, the Tories have played games with the living wage, and we need a substantial minimum wage, a real living wage...

Income Tax (Charge) (29 Oct 2018)

Ruth Cadbury: ...Some in my constituency have done well in recent years, but the vast majority of families, particularly those led by women, do not feel better off. That is hardly surprising when, nationally, real wage growth in the UK has fallen by 3% in the past eight years and when the impact of pay freezes and low pay falls hardest on women. This Government have overseen the biggest rise in poverty...

Public Holidays on Religious Occasions — [Mrs Anne Main in the Chair] (29 Oct 2018)

Justin Madders: ...entitled to holiday pay. In those two years, Uber has not paid a penny to the drivers. It is estimated that they are owed about £18,000 each in lost entitlement. As the Minister knows, where the minimum wage has not been paid, the Department investigates—

Ways and Means - Financial Statement (29 Oct 2018)

Philip Hammond: ...the jobs that put food on their table; that we deliver the public services their families rely on; and that we do it efficiently, minimising the amount of tax we need to take from their hard-earned wages. People who Conservative Members are proud to represent. So I say to them today: this Budget is unashamedly for you. The British people put their faith in us to do the job, and today we...

Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Modern Slavery (29 Oct 2018)

Victoria Atkins: ...but break every rule going. That is why we are leading a cross-governmental approach, having regard to environmental offences as well as offences of labour exploitation such as failing to pay the minimum wage. We want the message to go out to these criminals loud and clear that we will not tolerate modern slavery, whatever form it takes.

Written Answers — Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: Living Wage: Business (29 Oct 2018)

Kelly Tolhurst: Holding answer received on 25 October 2018 This Government is committed to building an economy that works for everyone, and the National Living Wage is part of our wider commitment to ensuring this, both in terms of fair pay and fair working conditions. We do not hold these particular statistics. Analysis from the Low Pay Commission (published in March 2018) shows that around 2.1...

The Low Pay Commission is an internationally renowned independent and expert body which conducts extensive analysis and stakeholder research to make its...

Public Bill Committee: Agriculture Bill: Examination of Witnesses (25 Oct 2018)

...the need to protect standards for agricultural workers. Sustain is supporting an amendment, which we would be happy to be attached to, on the kind of protections that the former Agricultural Wages Board provided. We recognise that this is a framework Bill and there are different ways of expressing things, but in the absence of anything at all we would want something very specific to be...

Scottish Parliament: Migrant Workers’ Pay (25 Oct 2018)

Jackie Baillie: ...aware that the workers who have been hired to build the flagship £2.6 billion Beatrice offshore wind farm have included migrants without immigration documents who have been paid a fraction of the minimum wage—some of them have been paid less than £5 an hour. The Scottish Government believes that green energy is a priority. Will the First Minister act to ensure that green jobs are not...

Asylum Seekers: Right to Work (24 Oct 2018)

Caroline Spelman: .... I remember well a group of Iraqi Kurdish asylum seekers who managed to get work in a food factory. While it was not a particularly pleasant job, the men were happy. They were only earning the minimum wage, but even that filled them with pride. It meant that they were no longer completely reliant on the state, and while they were out working in that food factory they had a sense of...

Written Answers — Scotland Office: Scotland Office: Facebook (24 Oct 2018)

David Mundell: Digital advertising is a cost-effective way for the Government to reach audiences with important information on UK Government policies such as pensions, start-up loans, cyber security, minimum and living wage rates, support for childcare costs and other important information the public needs to be aware of. All of the Office of the Secretary of State for Scotland’s Facebook posts are made...
