HC Deb 26 May 1988 vol 134 cc313-4W
Ms. Walley

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what plans he has to ensure that Remploy pays rates of pay to its workers consistent with the standard rates of pay for the work undertaken and rates of pay for jobs considered to be of similar value; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lee

Within a framework of wider public spending considerations, it is for the hoard of Remploy to determine wage rates for the company's workers. I am pleased to say that Remploy's manual work force has now voted by a sizeable majority to accept the pay offer which the board put to it recently.
