Motion Text

That this House believes that the minimum wage is a progressive measure which has benefited hundreds of thousands of the poorest workers in Britain; is concerned that the current level does not represent a living wage and is discriminatory against younger workers; and supports the launch of the Coalition Fighting Unfair Pay by young Labour Party activists, which is campaigning for Labour councils to include a living wage without exemptions in their worker procurement contracts and for the Labour Party to adopt a living wage for all workers as its policy at annual conference.
