I welcome the Minister of State and his staff. In terms of the Minister of State's life experience, the issues of working conditions and fairness at work give him great credibility in bringing in the reforms and initiatives in which he is currently engaged, including this one.

A commentator in the UK remarked that the minimum wage is a wage floor, not a living wage.

Would the Minister of State like to comment on that?
