I extend my thanks once again on behalf of the Government to the noble Baroness, Lady Stroud, and the Low Pay Commission. In closing, I would like to reiterate the positive impact that these regulations will have for millions of young people: an annual pay rise of around £900 for a full-time worker on the national minimum wage and one worth over £1,500 for a full-time worker between 18 and 20 years old. Making work pay will be among the proudest legacies of this Labour Government.
