HC Deb 17 May 1961 vol 640 c147W
Mr. Clark Hutchison

asked the Minister of Labour when he proposes to bring into force the remaining provisions of the Payment of Wages Act, 1960; and if he will make a statement on the working of those provisions of the Act already in force.

Mr. Hare

It is too early for me to make a useful statement on the working of the provisions of the Payment of Wages Act, 1960, now in force as they came into operation as recently as 1st December, 1960. I propose to wait until we have had more experience of their working before I consider making the remaining provisions of the Act operative.
