Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many reports from (a) employees and (b) third parties involving suspected non-compliance of employers with the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 and related legislation were received by HMRC in each year since 2015.

HMRC considers all complaints from workers, conducts a program of proactive compliance activities, and delivers a program of educational activities to support employers to get it right.

Anyone not being paid what they are entitled to can complain online at: https://www.gov.uk/minimum-wage-complaint or can contact the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service on 0300 123 1100. HMRC will not tell an employer who complained without the person’s consent.
