Hourly rate will increase to £7.50 from 1 June
The Licensed Victuallers Association has backed plans to increase the minimum wage for over-25s.
From 1 June, the rate will rise to £7.50 an hour.
Brewery Heron and Brearley this week criticised the move - claiming it could lead to job losses and some firms closing down.
But Chairman of the LVA Andy Saunders doesn't agree:
