How do you reckon this will affect small businesses? Anyone working in our industry should be putting in above minimum skill and effort anyway, so perhaps it's a non-issue.

Should really be around £10 an hour for anyone over 25 more in London.

I think it's working it's way up to that level, as long as the economy doesn't fall off a cliff

Nah, the Tories changed the definition of the 'minimum wage' to make it look like they were doing something a few years ago. All it achieved was obfuscation. 

It's the legal minimum.

The 'living wage' (as it had been previously known, but now renamed 'REAL living wage') is higher still.
