Minimum Wage: Yorkshire and the Humber

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many notices of underpayment of the national minimum wage HM Revenue and Customs has issued to firms in (a) Kingston upon Hull and (b) Yorkshire and the Humber in each year since 2009-10.

Answer

The Government is determined that everyone who is entitled to the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and National Living Wage (NLW) receives it. Anyone who feels they have been underpaid NMW or NLW should contact the Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) reviews all complaints that are referred to them.

HMRC does not record statistics on complaints or the outcomes of its investigations by reference to Government regions, constituencies or counties. In 2015-16, HMRC recovered record arrears of almost £10.3m for over 58,000 workers from 958 employers.
