Government has change of heart over minimum wage rise

The minimum wage won't be rising to £13.05 an hour this October, after the Department for Enterprise and Treasury changed their minds.

Under their original proposals, the rate would have risen to £12.25 an hour from April, with a further increase in October.

However, the government now says it's had feedback from industry and other representatives and won't now implement October's rise.

Tynwald will be asked to back April's increase during its sitting in February.
