To ask Her Majesty’s Government what estimate they have made of the annual cost of paying the Living Wage across the public sector.
The Government does not have an estimate of the cost of applying the living wage across the public sector.
The Government supports all employers who choose to pay the living wage and encourages businesses to pay the living wage where it is affordable.
For the pay review body workforces and central government the majority of pay scale points are above the living wage.
