I reiterate it is important to wait for the holding of these transposition workshops by the European Commission so we can look at best practice in other member states as well as how we can lead the discussion in that area, taking on board the points raised by Senator Sherlock.

That will feed, quite clearly, into the aspiration and genuine determination to achieve that living wage by the dates set out by the Government, which is something I will be putting the weight of my full support and enthusiasm behind in my new role.
