Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many (a) direct employees, (b) contractors and (c) agency workers who work in his Department and relevant agencies and public bodies receive a wage below that of the (i) UK Real Living Wage outside of Greater London and (ii) London Living Wage inside of Greater London, as determined by the Living Wage Foundation.

DfT pay staff in line with the statutory National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage.

As separate employers, information on DfT’s Arm’s Length Bodies is not held centrally, although all adhere to the statutory National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage.

Information for contractors and agency workers is not readily available and can only be provided at disproportionate cost.
