HC Deb 22 May 1990 vol 173 c165W
59. Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many inspections were undertaken last year by the clothing industry wages council.

Mr. Nicholls

Checking compliance with wages council minimum rates is the responsibility of the wages inspectorate, not the wages council itself.

For the information requested, I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Coventry, South-East (Mr. Nellist) on 14 March, Official Report, columns 252–56.
