The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.

Letter from Colin Mowl to Mr. Tony Lloyd, dated 27 May 2004:

The National Statistician has been asked to reply to your recent question about the number of workers in Manchester Central who have benefited from the national minimum wage (NMW). I am replying in his absence. (175716)

Estimates for Parliamentary Constituencies are not available.

However, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) calculates estimates of the number of jobs paid less than NMW rates for the United Kingdom and Government Office Regions. A guide to measuring low pay and associated articles and data can be found on the National Statistics website at: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/StatBase/Product.asp?vlnk=5837&Pos=l&ColRank=1&Rank=272
