Wages Councils

EDM number 1269 in 1989-90, proposed by Jimmy Dunnachie on 12/07/1990.

That this House deplores the advertising in Government job centres of vacancies which offer wages below the legal minimum; and calls on the Government to guarantee the continued existence of wages councils in an effort to prevent even greater exploitation of the poorly-paid.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
