I have never understood the reasoning between the 18-20 year olds not being adult rate.
It is the way the minimum wage was set up though by Labour.
I still think the min. wage is too low in any event but at least the Govt have given and honoured an increase.

If you are working paying tax, and NI you should get a full adult wage, especially if over 18!
Still nowhere near the 'living wage' is it?....
