Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andy Sawford and Baroness Morgan of Cotes

Tuesday 28th January 2014 Commons Chamber

[Andy Sawford (Corby) (Lab/Co-op)]

T8. Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs is investigating 12 employment agencies in my constituency for underpayment of the minimum wage. Two investigations have been concluded, penalties imposed and money repaid to local workers, but local people simply do not understand why the Government will not name and shame those two agencies. I think the Government are wrong. Will they reconsider?

[The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (Nicky Morgan)]

I think the hon. Gentleman raised this topic in the debate on the national minimum wage. I am very happy to take this away and to have a conversation once I have had a chat with Treasury officials.
