Lord Kennedy of Southwark Excerpts
Lord Kennedy of Southwark (Lab)
My Lords, would the noble Lord agree that the growth of the working poor is a matter of great concern? Will he join me in calling on all employers in the tourism industry to commit as soon as possible to paying all employees the living wage?
Lord Gardiner of Kimble
My Lords, the Government are clear that, where the living wage is affordable for a company, we encourage it to pay it.
