Tory conference: Hunt confirms rise in national living wage

The chancellor has announced the national living wage will rise to at least £11 an hour from next April.

Jeremy Hunt told the Conservative Party conference the rise would benefit two million of the lowest-paid workers from the current level of £10.42 an hour.

The exact figure will be decided after a report from the Low Pay Commission.
