    Workers across the UK could be set for a huge pay rise.<\/p>\n

    Millions of Brits could be eligible for a salary increase. Currently the National Living Wage is \u00a310.42 an hour, but it's set to rise.<\/p>\n

    It's believed Chancellor Jeremy Hunt will confirm a money increase to at least \u00a311 an hour, reports BBC. The new amount would come into place next April. <\/p>\n

    It's said Mr Hunt would confirm the news in a speech at the Conservative Party conference on Monday (October 2) in Manchester.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    It is estimated increasing the National Living Wage could benefit 2million of the lowest-paid workers in Britain. Mr Hunt also plans to toughen sanctions for those on benefits who do not attempt to find themselves work.<\/p>\n

    The Tories said an increase to \u00a311 an hour would mean the annual earnings of someone who works full-time would go up by \u00a31,000 annually.<\/p>\n

    BBC reports Mr Hunt is expected to say in the conference: "Since we introduced [the National Living Wage], nearly 2m people have been lifted from absolute poverty.<\/p>\n

    "That's the Conservative way of improving the lives of working people. Boosting pay, cutting tax."<\/p>\n
