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:

'Too early to tell' what caused fire
Firefighting foam may have killed fish in Silverburn River
Additional road closure for TT filming ahead of MGP qualifying
'Knives and sharp implements' left outside charity shops
