Answer
To date my Department has not taken any specific actions regarding the devolution of powers to set the minimum wage in Northern Ireland.
In these difficult times I am prioritising the economic recovery in response to Covid-19. I will, in due course, consider the matter in detail and consult my Executive colleagues as appropriate.
