Department for Work and Pensions: Living Wage
(asked on 1st May 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 23 April 2018 to Question 135694, how many and what proportion of the outsourced staff working on Estates contracts is represented by the 3,051 members of staff paid below the Living Wage or London Living Wage as defined by the Living Wage Foundation.
Further to the reply from question 135694, we have updated the table below to include all outsourced staff working on estates contracts to include those under the age of 25 which have a lower Living Wage threshold and therefore were excluded from the previous response.
The number and proportion of outsourced staff is therefore set out below.
| Number of employees working on the DWP contract | Real Living Wage* Voluntary for 18 and older | ||
