The parties to the mid-term review of part two of Sustaining Progress — Pay and the Workplace — agreed to ask the Labour Court to review the national minimum wage and to make a recommendation to the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, in accordance with the National Minimum Wage Act 2000, to apply with effect from 1 May 2005. The Labour Court has undertaken a review of the national minimum wage in line with that commitment. As I have just received the Labour Court recommendation, it would be inappropriate for me to comment on the matter at this stage.
