I RECENTLY had a go at York MP Hugh Bayley for squandering an opportunity at Prime Minister's Questions on a query about regurgitated chewing gum defacing the nation's pavements (Letters, December 10, 2004).
Hugh went a long way towards redeeming himself at this week's PMQs when he asked what the Government's plans are to ensure workers receiving less than the minimum wage are informed of their rights under employment law, and made aware how they can claim those rights.
It is an important question seeking to right a social injustice which blights the lives of Britain's exploited underclass. That's more like it, Hugh. Keep up the good work.
