HC Deb 16 November 1976 vol 919 cc529-30W
29. Mr. George

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what conclusion he draws from the investigation by the Wages Council Inspectorate started on 18th October.

Mr. John Grant

It will not be possible to draw firm conclusions until the present programme is completed at the end of the year. I am encouraged by its success so far, but deeply concerned at the extent of underpayment of workers it has revealed.
