HC Deb 29 January 1968 vol 757 c216W
Mr. James Hamilton

asked the Minister of Labour if, in view of devaluation, he will take steps to introduce a minimum wage of £15 so as to safeguard the living standards of the lower paid workers: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hattersley

The Government's present policy is to assist low-paid workers partly through the operation of its policy for productivity, prices and incomes, and partly through social benefits directly related to their problems.
