The Low Pay Commission (LPC) has welcomed the government's announcement that Professor Arindrajit Dube has been appointed to undertake a review of the international evidence on the impacts of minimum wages.
The news came in chancellor Philip Hammond's recent Spring Statement.
Chair of the Low Pay Commission, Bryan Sanderson, said: "We welcome the chancellor’s announcement. It’s good news to have such a respected expert supporting our work on the post-2020 NLW path.
"The LPC will be engaging with the government over the coming months on our post-2020 remit, to help shape the remit and make sure it reflects what we know about the effects of the NLW so far.
"We are launching our annual consultation very soon – and will be looking for stakeholders’ views on the post-2020 NLW."
The terms of reference for the review of the international evidence on the impacts of minimum wages were published by the government alongside the Spring Statement 2019.
