§ Dr. GodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of workplaces and workers' terms and conditions of employment were inspected by the wages inspectorate divisions covering(a) Greenock and Port Glasgow, (b) Strathclyde and (c) Scotland as a whole in the last year for which figures are available.
§ Mr. NichollsWages inspectorate statistics are not compiled for areas smaller than the inspectorate's nine divisions. Scotland is one division. The percentage of workplaces checked in Scotland in 1988 is included in a reply given in theOfficial Report of 1 March at columns 201–6.
No information is available on the percentage of workers whose pay was checked in individual wages inspectorate divisions. Terms and conditions of employment, other than statutory requirements on minimum pay, are not a matter for the wages inspectorate.
