The background as told by Graeme Archer to the Conservative Party Conference

“Providing cost-effective services should not be at the expense of the pay of the poorest in our community. During my Mayoralty, Hackney will adopt the London Living Wage and, as contracts come up for renewal, I will ensure that our policy has the aim that those who provide services to the Council are encouraged to conform to it. We should not make a pact with poverty.”
