Re: Minimum wage rise - good or bad?

The missing revenue would be recouped in other ways. A really good way would be to close the tax loopholes that big businesses exploit.....Ok, it isn't illegal for them to make use of these loopholes, but it is immoral and the government knows about them so they should be closed.
If the company says it will relocate to somewhere else, then let them...it leaves a space in the market where some other company who is prepared to pay their way can get a footing.
Each business that screws HMRC is screwing the customer.

If someone is getting more money by working rather than by being paid benefits this has to be better for the worker and better for the country.
