ii) atleast £1000 above living wage calculated by living wage commission.
b) Living wage commission shall be entrusted with calculating the value for section 4ai.
To clarify, this is needed because current minimum wage is absurd. It makes no distinction between adult or minors, makes no allowances for apprentices and is higher than living wage for London; something that is not even mandated by United Kingdom. With current wage, I seriously question why any business would hire anyone but those over age of 50 with plenty of experience internationally leaving youth with no jobs or for providing any apprenticeships. Oh and it also makes no allowances for cost of living or volunteers.

a) Standard income shall be defined as one of the following, which ever is higher:i) Income necessary for a person working forty hours a week, with no additional income to afford the basics for quality of life; i.e. food, utilities, transport, health care, and minimal recreation, one course a year to upgrade their education and childcare
ii) atleast £1000 above living wage calculated by living wage commission.
b) Living wage commission shall be entrusted with calculating the value for section 4ai.
To clarify, this is needed because current minimum wage is absurd. It makes no distinction between adult or minors, makes no allowances for apprentices and is higher than living wage for London; something that is not even mandated by United Kingdom. With current wage, I seriously question why any business would hire anyone but those over age of 50 with plenty of experience internationally leaving youth with no jobs or for providing any apprenticeships. Oh and it also makes no allowances for cost of living or volunteers.

The Union of the West wrote:
It says, "The cabinet shall be made up of the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, the Interior Minister, the Foreign Minister, the Finance Minister, the Labour Minister, the Education Minister, the Health Minister, the Defence Minister, the Environment Minister and the Culture Minister," but later it mentions many other ministers. I'm confused.
