Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy what actions her Department has taken regarding the devolution of powers to set the minimum wage in Northern Ireland, as set out in New Decade, New Approach.

Answer:

To date my Department has not taken any specific actions regarding the devolution of powers to set the minimum wage in Northern Ireland.

In these difficult times I am prioritising the economic recovery in response to Covid-19. I will, in due course, consider the matter in detail and consult my Executive colleagues as appropriate.
