Petition Stop calling the new minimum wage the 'National Living Wage'.

The Living Wage Foundation defines the living wage as £8.25 per hour for the UK as a whole, or £9.40 in London. While we are glad that the minimum wage has been increased to £7.20, this is not the living wage. As such, it should be called the Minimum Wage, NOT the 'National Living Wage'.
