John Hannett LPC Commissioner said “Listening and understanding the impact the minimum wage has in different regions across the UK and in different business areas is vital to our research and informs our recommendations to the Government.
“We are keen to understand the impact the minimum wage and youth and apprentice rates have in Northern Ireland to meet with those affected”.
