Answer
The Department previously estimated that around 1,000 employee jobs were covered by the National Minimum and Living Wage in the High Peak constituency in 2020.
More recent estimates based on the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings are subject to a high level of uncertainty due to lower-than-usual achieved sample size.
Therefore, the Department is unable to provide a more recent estimate, as per the Code of Practice for Statistics.
