Wages In The Textile Industry (EDM576)

Wages In The Textile Industry

EDM number 576 in 1991-92, proposed by Robert Litherland on 29/01/1992.

That this House notes that, while there are many areas of low paid employment within the textile industry, the firm of Coats Viyella is one of the few where wage bargaining has taken wage levels well above those proposed by the Labour Party as a national minimum wage, i.e. Ãº3. 40 per hour; and expresses surprise, therefore, that Coats Viyella should claim that a national minimum wage would cost jobs, especially as a minimum wage provision has in no way deterred the company from operating in countries such as France where strong minimum wage legislation prevails.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
