Payment of Wages Act, 1960

HC Deb 02 July 1962 vol 662 c17W

Mr. Swingler

asked the Minister of Labour to what extent the payment of wages by cheque has developed since the passage of the Payment of Wages Act.

Mr. Hare

The provisions of the Payment of Wages Act, 1960, concerning the payment of wages by cheque have not yet come into force. I am in consultation with interested bodies on the question of appointing a day for these provisions to come into force.
