A plan to increase pay for apprentices by more than £1 an hour has been unveiled by Business Secretary Vince Cable.
The Liberal Democrat MP wants to create a single national minimum wage for 16 to 17-year-olds in work and first-year apprentices.
He said the move would help around 31,000 apprentices - and that he hoped it would encourage more young people to take up an apprenticeship.
Mr Cable, who will present the plan to the Low Pay Commission (LPC), said: "The National Minimum Wage has successfully protected the incomes and jobs of the lowest paid workers in the UK.
"This year it will see the first above inflation rise in the minimum wage since the recession.
"Thanks to the Lib Dems, apprenticeships are helping to create a stronger economy and opportunities for young people. I want the minimum pay for apprentices boosted by £1 an hour."
He added that the proposal to the LPC would see wages rise from £2.73 to £3.79 an hour on current rates and help employers by simplifying pay structures.
The LPC will make their recommendations, alongside the 2015 national minimum wage rates, next spring.
The government will then decide on any changes to the structure, based on the LPC's recommendations.
