Mr Peter Luff (Mid Worcestershire, Conservative)
That is a powerful point that I had not properly considered until now. I used to run a medium-sized business. One of our real difficulties was precisely that: people comparing pay packets and reaching judgments about their work. It is an immensely difficult problem in a small business, which typically wants more flexibility in setting its pay rates than some larger businesses operating to agreed pay scales.
