We received the recommendation from the Low Pay Commission. To implement it, we await advice from the Attorney General's office. We also await an impact assessment on the economy. There have been significant cost increases. I want to ensure the actions I take do not have any negative effects. It is important to realise it was a unanimous decision and the Government will respect it but I want to do those two pieces of work before I make my decision, which will be shortly.
