The letter gives a brief insight into the views of the Low Pay Commission and our response to government.

The Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills asked us to consider the conditions that would need to be in place to allow faster increases in the minimum wage taking account of the impact on employment levels and the labour market.
