After Ed Miliband kick-started Labour's final conference before the general election with a pledge to hike the minimum wage to at least £8, we want to know what you think.

The party leader said the rise over the next parliament - from the £6.50 level it will hit next month - was needed to stop ordinary workers being left behind.

The increase would add around £3,000 a year to the pay packets of those earning the minimum wage.
