Re: National Minimum Wage:- - John Lush (13th Oct 2009 - 11:24:07) Thanks for the update Dawn. Very grateful we have a minimum wage, i would like assurance from James Arbuthnot that should the conservatives become the next election the minimum wage is safe in their hands and indeed they would match the pledge that Gordon Brown made at Labour Party Conference to raise it in the next few years?

Re: National Minimum Wage:- - Rhys G (13th Oct 2009 - 18:51:13) John, I'm afraid Mr Arbuthnott has ceased to comment on this website since the MP expenses scandal first came to light, funny that huh? Now it’s reignited over the past few days, I hold little hope for him contributing in the near future. You never know though...

Re: National Minimum Wage:- - Allan (14th Oct 2009 - 00:23:25) Rhys, I believe that all M.P'S have 3 weeks to challenge Legg's judgements. I imagine he will be drenched with "aw c'mons" from most. If the leniency exercised towards Jacqui Smith, former Home Sec., is anything to go by, they are all home and dry in their duck houses. However, I'm not sure that Legg will wish to be seen as the walk-over most predicted upon his appointment. We shall have to wait and see. Allan
