Agricultural Wages Board

Proceeding contribution from Mary Creagh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 April 2013. It occurred during Opposition day on Agricultural Wages Board.

The hon. Gentleman said that the motion is somehow sponsored by unions. It is nothing of the sort. This debate is about a point of principle—[Interruption.] I am sorry that Government Members are laughing. This debate is about whether people who work in remote, isolated areas, in unseasonable conditions and in one of our most dangerous industries deserve to be paid 2p an hour above the national minimum wage and to have some sort of protection against eviction from their homes.
