HC Deb 16 December 1975 vol 902 c598W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, if he will list those wages councils which operate a wage for age or incremental scale for adults.

Mr. Harold Walker

No council fixes an incremental scale above the age at which the adult rate for the council applies; this varies from 18 to 22 according to the council. Otherwise, incremental scales for learners are prescribed, irrespective of starting age, in the following tradesCorset, Retail Bespoke Tailoring (England and Wales), Retail Bespoke Tailoring (Scotland), Rubber Proofed Garment Making Industry, Shirtmaking, Wholesale and Costume, Dressmaking and Women's Light Clothing (Scotland).
