All jobs under this threshold must be posted to JobCentre sites.","additional_details":"Many companies are hosting multiple interview rounds for basic wage jobs. We think this wastes interviewee time and where that individual is on UC, government funds. Many people applying for those roles are willing to get back into work ASAP, and able to do the role, that’s all that’s necessary for those roles. £15 an hour is above minimum wage but we think a fair threshold and helps those willing to take any role, even if they’re over qualified, because they want to work, pay their bills, and carry out their normal life.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":13,"closing_date":"2026-12-04","created_at":"2026-05-06T17:45:06.444Z","updated_at":"2026-06-04T21:35:30.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-06-04T12:37:41.951Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-05-06T18:11:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Sam Prudence","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DWP","name":"Department for Work and Pensions","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-work-pensions"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":13}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Chippenham","ons_code":"E14001168","mp":"Sarah Gibson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Finchley and Golders Green","ons_code":"E14001238","mp":"Sarah Sackman MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Hornchurch and Upminster","ons_code":"E14001292","mp":"Julia Lopez MP","signature_count":4},{"name":"Lewisham West and East Dulwich","ons_code":"E14001333","mp":"Rt Hon Ellie Reeves KC MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Old Bexley and Sidcup","ons_code":"E14001414","mp":"Mr Louie French MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Putney","ons_code":"E14001434","mp":"Fleur Anderson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Stafford","ons_code":"E14001513","mp":"Leigh Ingham MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":10},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":2}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
