Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many employers were named under the National Minimum Wage Naming Scheme each year between 2011 and 2022.

Since the National Minimum Wage Naming Scheme began in February 2014, we have named 2,495 employers. Publicly naming employers who do not comply with the rules remains an important part of our enforcement and compliance toolkit. It clearly shows that it is never acceptable to underpay workers and that employers who do will be held responsible. The table below sets out how many employers have been named to date.
