Both are different from the Real Living Wage – a voluntary minimum that some employers commit to paying, which is currently £9.90 or £11.05 in London.

The first National Minimum Wage was set in 1998 by the Labour government.

Before that no official rate existed, although trade unions battled hard to fight their members’ corner.

The exact amount under-23s get under the National Minimum Wage depends on their age.
