HC Deb 06 December 1983 vol 50 cc118-9W
22. Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the proposal to abolish the provisions of the Truck Acts to enable wages to be paid direct by cheque.

Mr. Gummer

The Truck Acts and related legislation will be repealed at the earliest opportunity after the Government have considered responses to a consultative document on deductions from pay which will be issued in the new year.
