Unite and the GMB have done a lot of work on representing people in the sector and they give the example of a sous chef who was offered a salary of £28,000 per annum and accepted the position on that basis. When he received his contract, he saw that his actual salary was £16,000 and he was told not to worry, because the remaining £12,000 would be guaranteed as a fixed income generated by the tronc scheme. I am glad that the hon. Member for Hitchin and Harpenden looks shocked at that.
Bim Afolami (Hitchin and Harpenden) (Con)
On the question whether a scheme is being run by the employer or by employees or staff, is the hon. Lady alleging that employers are acting contrary to existing guidance and legislation? I am not entirely sure.
