Commenting on the launch of the consultation, the Chair of the Low Pay Commission, David Norgrove, said “Receiving evidence directly from those affected by, or with an interest in, the minimum wage is very important. We want to hear from as many people and organisations as possible.”
 

The public consultation is just one way the Commission obtains evidence before making recommendations to the Government. It also: undertakes a series of visits around the UK speaking to interested parties; commissions research on, among other things, the impact of the NMW; undertakes in-house analysis on a wide range of data; and holds oral evidence sessions to speak directly to stakeholders.
