Low-Paid Workers

HC Deb 07 May 1973 vol 856 cc42-3W

Mr. Sydney Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for Employment (1) what criteria he uses for calculating who are low paid;

(2) what is his definition of the term "low paid" expressed in money terms.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

As I said in my reply to a Question from my hon. Friend the Member for Eastleigh (Mr. David Price), the Government have not considered it appropriate to define "low-paid" in terms of any specific pay level.—[Vol. 849, c.305.]
