Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Chris Law (Scottish National Party), on Tuesday, 21 July 2015, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 70 members in total.
NAMING OF THE NATIONAL LIVING WAGE
That this House condemns the Government's naming of its so-called National Living Wage, while welcoming this de facto increase of the minimum wage; notes that this living wage aims to be based on a percentage of median income, rather than need; considers this an invidious attempt to devalue the term living wage, as used by campaigners such as the Living Wage Foundation for over a century; and calls on the Government to change this damaging rhetoric.
