Mr. Ron Brownasked the Secretary of State for Employment how many employers governed by wages councils in Edinburgh and Leith were discovered to be paying below the statutory minimum pay rates during 1980; and how many were prosecuted.
§ Mr. WaddingtonThe statistics of underpayments are not kept in a form which provides information about particular cities. This could be supplied only at disproportionate cost. However, no employer in Edinburgh and Leith was prosecuted under the Wages Councils Act in 1980.
