With five million people being paid less than the living wage politicians of all parties need an agenda to address the UK’s low wage economy and lift living standards. At this Resolution Foundation and TUC event Tim Montgomerie (The Times) and Guy Opperman MP discussed the Conservative agenda for improving the plight of low paid Britain. Frances O’Grady (TUC), Gavin Kelly (Resolution Foundation) and David Skelton(Renewal) responded, providing insights into the potential policy responses the Conservatives might choose to pursue. Mary Riddell (The Telegraph) chaired the event. This event is part of a Resolution Foundation series on low pay and the 2015 election including events at the Liberal Democrat party conference with Vince Cable MP and at the Labour party conference with Andy Burnham MP.
