Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the Government’s response to the Taylor Review, published on 7 February 2018, when he plans to update public guidance for employers and workers on the rules for paying interns.

The Department will shortly update guidance available on www.gov.uk concerning the rules over when interns should be paid the National Minimum Wage. Alongside this work, BEIS ministers will meet with employers and business advisers after the summer recess to underline the Government’s intention to eliminate exploitative unpaid internships.
