National Minimum Wage
EDM number 493 in 1998-99, proposed by Judy Mallaber on 26/03/1999.
That this House looks forward to the introduction of the national minimum wage on 1st April, which will tackle the scandal of poverty pay levels encouraged by the previous Conservative administration; notes that this is yet another example of the Labour government delivering on its promises; and in particular congratulates the Right honourable Member for Makerfield for the years of dedicated campaigning and policy work he has undertaken to ensure the introduction of the national minimum wage and fairness at work for millions of people, achieved with the growing support of the business community.
This motion has been signed by a total of 197 MPs, 4 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
