Revenue and Customs: Living Wage

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans there are for HM Revenue and Customs to sign up to be a living wage employer.

Answer

HM Revenue and Customs does not have any plans to apply for accreditation as a Living Wage employer for either directly employed staff, or third party contracted staff.

As a statutory requirement, HM Revenue and Customs ensures all staff employed directly or through third party contract receive at least the National Living Wage, which was introduced in April 2016.
