Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 25 February 2022.
What progress are you making on making London a Living Wage City?
I have agreed to co-chair the inaugural meeting of the London Living Wage City Steering Group this Spring. This programme is funded by Trust for London and administered by CitizensUK and Living Wage Foundation. They are working hard alongside GLA officers to develop structures to ensure this programme can deliver on stretching goals for the next two years.
Listening exercises are currently taking place with low-paid Londoners to ensure their voices are heard and that they too can influence our work. Several action groups are forming with a focus on low-paid sectors including social care and the night-time economy. I look forward to highlighting early achievements during Living Wage Week in November.
