In his weekly column, North West Norfolk MP James Wild discusses wage increases for working people coming into play this month. Around 29million working people will start benefiting from cuts in National Insurance which are worth £900 for the average worker. To help those on the lowest incomes, the National Living Wage is increasing to £11.44 an hour – a £1,800 increase for a full-time worker. This meets the commitment this government made to increase the national living wage to two thirds of median earnings.
