Burnham to force employers to publish salaries on job ads in latest government ‘small fix’ – UK politics live

Prime minister said his government would bring in legal requirement for companies to say what they pay when listing new jobs

Hello and welcome to the UK politics live blog.

Employers will be forced to publish salaries on job adverts, Andy Burnham has announced, in the government’s latest “small fix” to help improve people’s lives.

Whether you’re a young person starting out or a parent trying to support your family, you should know what a job pays before spending your time and effort applying for it.

Shabana Mahmood’s changes to the migration system could harm women and children, a Labour MP has warned, as members of her own party continue to raise concerns with the home secretary’s proposals.
