PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Department for Transport: Living Wage (8 July 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has plans to ensure that those who work (a) directly or (b) indirectly in his Department, and relevant agencies and public bodies, are paid at least the (i) UK Real Living Wage outside of Greater London or (ii) London Living Wage inside of Greater London, as determined by the Living Wage Foundation.

Asked by:
James Murray (Labour)

The department for Transport does not have any current plans to set targets with regards to the UK Real Living Wage and/ or the London Living Wage set by the Living Wage Foundation. However, the Department for Transport is committed to maximising this year’s pay award, in line with this year’s Civil Service Pay Remit guidance, targeting some of our highest headline awards to our lowest paid staff and ensuring we are an above National Living Wage employer.
