I am not saying that in certain cases it would not be difficult to prove, but in others colleagues would confirm, by contract, wage information to be submitted to the court as evidence. Even if it is difficult to prove, the Government can fall back on sections 1 and 2 which refer to the national minimum wage and the statutory wage. The case will not fall if proof is unattainable. It will still lead to an incentive for an employer to go down the road of exploitation if we enact this legislation as it is. It will still lead to a loss of earnings in the long run for an immigrant compared to the rest of the staff.
