Part of 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport – in the Senedd at 2:17 pm on 10 January 2018.
Absolutely, and I'd reiterate that the Welsh Government is committed to taking action on the living wage and will continue to promote adoption of the living wage across the Welsh economy. In March, I believe it was, last year, we introduced the code of practice on ethical employment in supply chains. This code commits public, private and third sector organisations to a set of actions that tackle illegal and unfair employment practices. All organisations that receive funding from Welsh Government, either directly or via grants or contracts, will be expected to sign up to the code, and other organisations in Wales are of course encouraged to do so. In addition, through the economic action plan, and in particular the economic contract, we are determined to see the adoption of fair work practices take place across the workforce.
