I justify it on the basis that the Government of the hon. Lady's party introduced a minimum wage, which was voted through by the House. The Agricultural Wages Board was introduced at a time when there was no national minimum wage. It now exists, and we take the view that an independent body with the AWB's powers no longer needs to exist.
