Text

I thank the Minister for her response. The increase to the minimum wage will have a significant impact on workers in the childcare sector who are on lower pay. A huge concern that is coming from the sector is that the increase will have to be passed on to parents, so it would be great to see some sort of relief and an assurance that that £2 million will meet demands.
