Follows criticism by Chamber of Commerce
The enterprise minister has defended his department against criticism from the Chamber of Commerce over the lead-in time to an increase in the minimum wage.
The rise to £9.50 for adults will come into force from April.
The timing of the proposal got a frosty reception from the chamber which felt it didn't give businesses enough time to prepare for the increase.
But Dr Alex Allinson is unrepentant:

"Rapid review" into bed capacity at Noble's Hospital
Still 'very low risk' of meningitis outbreak on Island
MHK 'disappointed but not surprised' over secondary school delay
