This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Raise national pay to £20.00 per hr as the cost of living is increasing.
We the people feel it is necessarily that the public get a national pay rise of £20 per hr to help with the dramatic increasing amounts of homes and food price rises. This will encourage people to get jobs and help those in need who are barely scraping the barrel.
More details
We feel that the national pay we get now is not enough to support our modern day living needs, a £20 pay increase could help the younger generation afford housing and bills without struggling to live or worry about being late on bills because of a sudden change in prices. An increase this large will help people enjoy the life they have without feeling stressed 24/7.
