I agreed with bots you can't make figures now at this time stick really.
As no one knows what the situation will be in months never mind years.
With an election up to 18 months to near 3 years away.
Any figure could be obsolete.
This government planned by the time of the next election to have the min wage of around £9.50.
In fact, by the time we get to 2023 or 2024, depending on inflation and other elements.
It could be £15 could amount to a pay cut, not rise.
We are years off an election.
This vote today may have no meaning at all in a couple of years time.
Plus were Labour to be in a position to be a minority or coalition with the SNP.
Even a £15 min wage level, would only need to be implemented 'sometime' from the first year of government to the fifth.
All this furore over £5, is ridiculous.
My guess would be a figure of more like £12 to £13: would make more sense by the next election, if no more unexpected events occur that is.
