Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many and what proportion of staff in his Department would receive an increase in their salary in the event that their hourly pay rate was (a) £8.72, (b) £9.30 and (c) £10.

All of the Department’s directly employed staff earn more than £10 per hour and therefore none would receive an increase in their salary in the circumstances outlined in the question.
