Work and Families Bill

While I appreciate that my hon. Friend the Minister indicated that the amendment is technical, I share the concerns of the hon. Member for Argyll and Bute (Mr. Reid). I regret to say that although we have a national minimum wage in this country, there are all too often some who would like to attack the protection that is offered through the Scottish Agricultural Wages Board. Like the hon. Gentleman, I merely say to my good friend the Minister that I hope that the amendment will offer protection to agricultural workers in Scotland and that they will not be worse off in any shape or form compared with workers in other parts of the country.
