You know this how exactly? If the UK government wasn't influencing the wage structure through this benefit,it probably would.Seeing that people will vote with their feet and take higher paid positions,then those employers who offer too low a wage will have to adjust to the market.
Another factor is that the Industry of course knows this and some companies probably factor-in the possibilities of benefit payments to their employees. In any case it distorts the wage structure and is no good as such.
