HC Deb 28 January 1986 vol 90 c425W
Mr. Ron Davies

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if female workers in part-time employment in agriculture are paid at the same hourly rate as their full-time counterparts; and if he will make a statement.

That for full-time workers and other workers regularly working more than 30 hours per week is £2.24 per hour.
