The Government has written to the Low Pay Commission (LPC) setting out its remit for their 2012 Report asking it, in particular, to focus on youth employment and to consider whether the national minimum wage regulations might be simplified.

The LPC will continue to monitor, evaluate and review the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and its impact, and review the levels of each of the different minimum wage rates. However, as part of its remit the Government has asked the independent body to pay particular attention to: (i) young workers, including those in apprenticeships and internships, to reflect on-going concerns about the position of young people in the labour market; (ii) whether the NMW regulations can be made even simpler and easier to administer; (iii) the best way to give businesses greater clarity on future levels of the NMW. The LPC will report to the Prime Minister and the BIS by the end of February 2012.
