Consultation description
The Low Pay Commission (LPC) is the independent body which advises the Government on the levels of the National Minimum Wage (NMW), including the National Living Wage (NLW).

On 30 July 2024, the Government published an updated remit for the LPC. This replaced the remit originally published in March, which was the basis for our consultation. We’ll communicate with stakeholders soon on what the new remit means for our evidence gathering and recommendations.
