London Living Wage

Question No: 2101 / 2012

Andrew Dismore

Regarding your commitment to double the number of companies paying the LLW are you using the baseline figure of 51 or the figure of over 100, both referred to in MQT 1756/2012?

Written response from the Mayor

My commitment to the London Living Wage is to work constructively with the private sector to increase to 250 the number of companies offering the London Living Wage. This can be found on page 18 of my manifesto.

I have also made further commitments on the London Living Wage which were developed in dialogue with London Citizens. These commitments can be found at:
