Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Neville-Rolfe on 3 January (HL4167), how many of the 687 employers named and shamed for non-compliance with the national minimum wage since October 2013 identified further arrears, not included in the sum of arrears for which they were named, under the self-correction mechanism introduced by HM Revenue and Customs in 2015; what is the combined total of those further, self-corrected arrears; and to how many workers those further, self-corrected arrears were owed.

Self-correction was introduced in 2015 and additional arrears recorded in 2015-16 data. Employers are not named for additional self-corrected arrears. Due to the small number of cases involved in addition to those provided in response to Written Question 52385, publishing aggregate self-correction data could allow individual employers to be identified, and would amount to naming them.
