Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Michael Fallon and Michael McCann

Thursday 6th March 2014 Commons Chamber

[Michael Fallon]

I am glad that my hon. Friend is pleased with the draft map. The Government are considering responses made in stage two of the assisted areas consultation to the draft map and the final map for 2014 to 2020 is due to come into effect on 1 July this year.

[Mr Michael McCann (East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow) (Lab)]

T7. A major hotel chain in my constituency employs a conveyor belt of young people.

When will the Secretary of State stop consulting and start doing something about exploitation through zero-hours contracts?
