Stephen Kinnock

Labour — Aberafan Maesteg

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 November 2024

Debate

Care Sector: Staff Salaries

Contribution

We took quick action on the Employment Rights Bill, which includes the fair pay agreement, within 100 days of taking office. The consultation process on the negotiating body can begin only once the Bill has become an Act. We are engaging widely with stakeholders, and I assure my hon. Friend that unions will play a central role in that process, but let us remember that, through the national living wage, we are giving the lowest-paid full-time care workers a pay increase of £1,400 per year.
