| Abstract: | Great Britain has had statutory regulation of minimum pay for most of this century but never previously had a national minimum wage (NMW). This paper outlines the history of minimum wage regulation culminating in 1997 with the establishment of the Low Pay Commission (LPC). The three key debates within LPC are analysed, namely the definition of the wage, what to do about youngsters, and the level to set the NMW. |
