Raise the London minimum working wage to £9.50 per hour for all ages.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

There are too many people working extremely hard and being taken advantage of by recieving a minimum wage that is not enough to survive.

Raise the minimum wage to £9.50 per hour in London for all ages. This can exclude internships and apprenticeships.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. At the moment, there isn't a specific legal minimum wage in London.

You can find out about the current rates here: https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could ask for the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage to be paid at different rates in London, and for £9.50 per hour to be the rate in London.
