This in actuality is true and is not, in fact, a breach of the Minimum Wage Act 1998. A minister at the Houses of Parliament that the detained immigrants &#8216;benefit from the \u00a31-an-hour wage at immigration centers. A Liberal Democrat, Baroness Hamwee, has questioned the morality of such a wage and has asked if the \u00a31-an-hour wage scheme was, &#8220;something to be proud of&#8221;. In response to this question, Baroness Williams fired back by stating that the work was voluntary and was intended to, &#8220;relieve boredom&#8221; while being detained.<\/p>\n<p>Baroness Williams has also stated that the scheme is not to take advantage of helpless people and save money but to help meet &#8220;recreational and creative&#8221; needs. Recent findings have also shown the Home Office is able to save \u00a3300,000 per month by acting out this scheme which leads to a total of \u00a33,600,000. Despite these figures Misses Williams remains adamant that immigration removal centers are not designed to provide cheap labor and exploit them. She has said that &#8220;this money is not wages as the ordinary working population would see it&#8221;, adding that the wage rate is &#8220;being reviewed&#8221; and a report is expected to be received by the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&nbsp;
