If this bill is successful it doesn’t take the intellect of David Willetts MP to see how open it would be to abuse by inconsiderate employers.

You would think that being a modern compassionate Conservative (sic) David Cameron would denounce these Conservative MP’s and tell them to drop this bill, well we are still waiting. Yet another example of the slipping mask of compassionate Conservatism.

Please help defend the National Minimum Wage by supporting  Wage Concern
