Closed petition Stop government from using the term "Living wage" instead of 'Minimum wage'.

Closed on

The living wage foundation currently sets the living wage as £7.85 (£9.15 within London), well above the new "National Living Wage" - a name which has been introduced for political reasons to be repeated in the media. The term "Minimum wage" should be reinstated for reasons of truth and clarity.
