HC Deb 12 February 1962 vol 653 cc109-10W
Sir Richard Glyn

asked the Minister of Labour what are the minimum and maximum rates of wages, given separately for men, women and young persons, fixed by wages boards in the United Kingdom for a standard working week; what is the standard working week; what other amounts or benefits are payable or credited under wages board orders; and what was the estimate at some convenient date of the numbers of workers whose pay and conditions would be subject to these Statutory Orders.

Mr. Hare

There are sixty-two Wages Boards and Councils in Great Britain covering about 4,175,000 workers. The minimum rates of pay, hours of work and other conditions of employment vary. I am sending my hon. Friend the information he requests.
