§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what was the number of(a) male and (b) female employees and the total number of employees estimated to be on low pay for each of the standard regions of the United Kingdom; and if he will publish comparable available data for each of the member states of the European Union.
§ Mr. OppenheimDefinitions of low pay are arbitrary and take no account of particular circumstances. There is therefore no definition of low pay upon which such an analysis can be based.
