LABOUR’S London mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan said yesterday that the living wage should be raised to above £10 an hour to meet the capital’s soaring housing costs.
In a speech to the Resolution Foundation think tank, Mr Khan said he wanted to make London a “living-wage city” if elected mayor in May.
But he argued that the current rate of £9.40 per hour for workers in the capital needs to be recalculated and raised to properly reflect the high price of London’s housing.
