National living wage to rise to £11 an hour, Jeremy Hunt to confirm
The national living wage is set to increase to at least £11 an hour from next April, the chancellor is to confirm. In a speech to the Conservative Party conference Jeremy Hunt is expected to say the move will benefit two million of the lowest-paid workers. The national living wage - currently £10.42 an hour - sets out the lowest amount workers aged 23 and over can be paid per hour by law. The Conservatives said this meant the annual earnings of a full-time worker on the national living wage would increase by £1,000 next year. At a fringe event on Sunday, Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride said the government was already looking at the Work Capability Assessment "So it reflects the way the modern world works", including increased opportunities for home-working.
