Finance Bill
Another problem with using the minimum wage is that it will not help two obvious groups of people: first, those whose overall pay is low because they are part-time, even though their hourly rate is greater than the minimum wage; and secondly, self-employed people such as jobbing builders and low-paid freelancers of various sorts—window cleaners, for example—who will not be benefited by an increase in the minimum wage.
