HC Deb 28 October 1993 vol 230 cc776-7W
Mr. Tyler

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food which International Labour Organisation conventions currently in force relate to the Agricultural Wages Board; when they expire; and what plans she has to renew them.

Mr. Jack

Those International Labour Organisation conventions which are currently in force and relate particularly to the Agricultural Wages Board are convention 99, concerning minimum wage fixing machinery in agriculture, and convention 101, concerning holidays with pay in agriculture. The conventions do not expire, although periodically signatories have the opportunity to reconsider their adherence. Any decision would be for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Employment.
