It's actually no policy at all:

21 and over - £6.50

This works out to be:
£6.50 * 40 = £260.00
£260.00 * 52 = £13,520

https://www.gov.uk/income-tax-rates
The standard Personal Allowance is £10,600
Basic rate 20%

£13,520 - £10,600 = £2920
Assessed at 20% = £584

How many people on the minimum wage actually get a full 40 hours in a week though?
