Agricultural Wages Act 1948

The Agricultural Wages Act 1948 (c 47) was a UK Act of Parliament under which the Agricultural Wages Board regulated the amount that farm workers were paid, in order to guarantee a fair minimum wage scale, depending, for example, on type of work, or years of experience. After the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 was introduced, agricultural wages tended to be slightly higher than those at the minimum. However, the Conservative-Liberal-Democrat coalition government decided to allow farm worker wages to be reduced by repealing most of the 1948 Act in the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013. This did not affect Scotland.

gollark: But this is basically just stating your desired conclusion slightly indirectly. Why not include villages? Or districts of a city? Or individual houses?
gollark: Cities are sort of kind of big towns.
gollark: Literally nowhere is actually an independent self-sustaining civilization.
