More than a million workers, two thirds of them low paid women will benefit from a rise in the National Minimum Wage from £5.35 to £5.52 an hour from October.

That means that the minimum wage has gone up by almost 30 per cent more than inflation since Labour introduced it in 1999.

More than a million workers, two thirds of them low paid women will benefit from this announcement, with the number of jobs in the economy increasing by almost 2 million in the same period. It is right for workers and employers.
