Employment Opportunities Bill
EDM number 1461 in 2008-09, proposed by John Prescott on 11/05/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Pay.
That this House, in celebrating 10 years of the minimum wage, welcomes the above-inflation overall increase in its value over that time; notes with concern the proposal to give the Employment Opportunities Bill, which would abolish the minimum wage, a second reading; calls on the Leader of the Opposition to distance his party from attempts seeking to impoverish low paid workers by this means; and welcomes the Wage Concern campaign to protect the minimum wage.
This motion has been signed by a total of 149 MPs, 6 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
