§ Mr. RichardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what considerations underlie his policy on a minimum wage in respect of the tourism industry. [88]
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesThe determination of pay levels in the tourism industry is not a matter for the Government: it is for the industry to decide what is fair and reasonable and can be afforded. It is our objective to see the greatest growth of the tourism industry and tourism employment, not to see workers priced out of jobs by minimum wages that cannot be afforded.
