UK minimum wage to rise, but smaller boost for 18-20 year-olds

The UK minimum wage is set to rise in the Budget, but 18 to 20-year-olds will get a smaller increase than in the past two years, the BBC understands. Their pay will rise in line with the rate for workers aged 21 and over. Chancellor John Healey is also announcing cost-of-living measures to give families 'breathing space'.
