Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many breaches of minimum wage legislation there have been by employers in Leicester East constituency in each of the last four years.

All businesses – irrespective of their size, business sector or location – are responsible for paying the correct minimum wage to their staff.

National Minimum Wage enforcement data is not available at constituency level so regional data has been provided in Table 1.
