HC Deb 10 February 1978 vol 943 c717W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will request his officials concerned to investigate to what extent in the hotel, restaurant and catering trades illegal immigrants are being employed on poor wages and being exploited; and what action can be taken to change this situation.

Mr. John Grant

The Wages Inspectorate of my Department investigates all complaints alleging underpayment of workers in licensed premises and unlicensed restaurants whatever the immigration status of the workers.
