The National Minimum Wage rates, including for apprentices, are based on the independent and expert advice of the Low Pay Commission (LPC). The Government set a remit in March 2022 for the LPC to make recommendations in the Autumn for minimum wage rates to apply from April 2023. The LPC draws on economic, labour market and pay analysis, independent research, and stakeholder evidence to inform its recommendations.
