This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The Government sets a National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage that set minimum wages for people of different age groups, and apprentices. The Government does not set minimum wages for particular groups of workers. These are a matter for individual employers, sometimes in negotiation with trade unions or other bodies.

We have published a petition calling on the Government to Increase pay for NHS healthcare workers and recognise their work, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300073

We have also published a petition calling on the Government to give all key workers a 100% tax and Nat. Ins. holiday through COVID-19 crisis, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/306845
