19. Mr. Paterson

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development if she will assess the advantages and disadvantages of applying the United Kingdom national minimum wage to foreign workers employed on projects funded with British aid. [23877]

Mr. Foulkes

There is obviously no plan to extend Britain's national minimum wage world-wide but we are working to promote respect for the International Labour Organisation's core labour standards throughout the world.
