HC Deb 20 July 1976 vol 915 cc407-8W
31. Mr. Radice

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what action the Government are taking to investigate and ameliorate the problems of people on low pay.

Mr. Booth

As already announced, the Government have asked the Royal Commission on the Distribution of Income and Wealth to undertake a comprehensive and objective analysis of all incomes at the lower levels. Meanwhile the TUC guidelines endorsed by the Government for the coming period, like the £6 policy, offer scope for substantial improvement in the relative position of the lower paid.
