We have looked at that issue. My hon. Friend will know that we deal with such issues by asking the Low Pay Commission, which is made up of employer and employee representatives, to consider them and see what can be done. We take on board its recommendations. The commission has considered the issue and there are no plans to change anything at the moment.

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on being a lone voice in the Opposition in relation to the national minimum wage. He is right to highlight that a small minority of people are still not paying the national minimum wage, but the legislation covers that situation in that when people are convicted or found not to have paid, they must back-pay to the original start date of the employment. We are looking at enforcement and it is important that we do so right across the range. We have picked particular sectors. Notably, we recently picked hairdressing, where we have looked at enforcement. We will consider all ways of making sure that rogue employers who do not pay the national minimum wage are made to pay it.

I am pleased that my hon. Friend welcomes the success of the national minimum wage—a flagship policy of the Government that was opposed by the Opposition parties, who have now admitted their mistakes. He is right to highlight the issue of low pay and particularly low pay among women. I am sure that he will be pleased by the recommendations of the women and work commission, which is looking at cutting the gap. We will continue to monitor what happens with the national minimum wage, but we believe that people on low incomes benefit greatly from it—together with the tax credit system.
