HC Deb 29 January 1973 vol 849 c305W
Mr. David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is his definition of a low-paid worker for the purpose of implementing Command 5205, the Programme for Controlling Inflation: The Second Stage; what is his estimate of the number of workers who will he covered by his definition; how that number is divided between men and women; and what percentage that number is of the total national labour force in whole-time employment.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

The Government have not considered it appropriate to define "low paid" in terms of any specific pay level.
