Department for Business, Innovation and Skills written question – answered at on 22 July 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, whether he plans for the National Living Wage announced in his Summer Budget 2015 to apply to apprentices over the age of 25.
Currently, the Apprentice rate applies to apprentices over the age of 25 where they are in their first year of their apprenticeship. They then qualify for the age appropriate rate.
We will be implementing the National Living Wage through amendments to the National Minimum Wage regulations, in time for April 2016. We will consider how the Living Wage applies to the Apprentice rate as part of this process.
