On Monday 18 April 2016 Members will debate the introduction of the National Living Wage and changes to employee contracts, following a successful Backbench Business Committee bid from Siobhain McDonagh MP, Labour MP for Mitcham and Morden.
Members will debate the following motion:
That this House agrees with the Chancellor of the Exchequer that Britain deserves a pay rise and commends his introduction of the national living wage; notes, however, that some employers are cutting overall remuneration packages to offset the cost of its introduction, leaving thousands of low-paid employees significantly worse off; and calls, therefore, on the Government to guarantee that no worker will be worse off as a result of the introduction of the national living wage.
