§ Mr. BryanSeparate minimum rates are fixed by the appropriate wages councils for homeworkers engaged in the carding buttons and the drawing and roving of lace. Homeworkers employed in other Wages Council industries are not dealt with separately in the wages regulation orders but are required to be paid not less than the piece-work basis time rates applicable to workers employed in the factories.
