Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how many (a) direct employees, (b) outsourced workers and (c) workers in agencies which report to his Department are paid less than the Living Wage as defined by the Living Wage Foundation.

I can confirm that from April 2014 there were no Civil Servants or contractors employed on DECC premises who were paid less the Living Wage as defined by the Living Wage Foundation in either London or Scotland.

DECC has no executive agencies.
