Hooper responds to minimum wage concerns

That's despite feedback to the Minimum Wage Committee suggesting an £11 hourly rate - just 25p per hour short of what it's set to increase to in April - would be too much for some.
The proposed increase from the Department for Enterprise and Treasury is subject to Tynwald approval.
