Low Pay Commission (LPC) visits 2026

The Low Pay Commission (LPC) is holding meetings with individuals and employers to discuss the impacts of the National Minimum Wage.

These conversation will help shape future LPC recommendations, and will cover areas such as:

• The economy and labour market in your area
• The outlook for pay and employment in your business
• How employers and workers are affected by the rising minimum wage
• Your views on the future of the minimum wage

The meetings will take place on:

• ·       Bradford – 18/19 March 2026
• ·       Blackpool – 15/16 April 2026
• ·       Aberdeen – 13/14 May 2026
• ·       Peterborough – 10/11 June 2026
• ·       Wrexham – 01/02 July 2026
• ·       Derry – 29/30 July 2026

These insights will play a key role in shaping Commissioners’ thinking as they assess labour market conditions and agree next year’s rates. Conversations will be anonymised where appropriate, with no information attributed to individual businesses without permission.
