Description

Parliamentary correspondent Peter Russell interviews shadow Employment Secretary, Tony Blair, on a Labour Party pledge to introduce a minimum wage if they win the next General Election, a move which the Conservatives say could cost up to two million jobs. Blair rejects these accusations and points to the experience of other countries who have implemented the measure.
