Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 July 2005. It occurred during Opposition day on Government Regulation.


Government Regulation

Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that the task of any Government is to strike the right balance between regulation on the one hand and minimum standards on the other? Over the eight years to which he referred, does he agree that the introduction of the national minimum wage was the sort of regulation that he should have supported when he was a Minister in the last Conservative Government?
