Exception
The subject-matter of the Agricultural Wages (Scotland) Act 1949 is excepted from the reservation. This Act establishes the Scottish Agricultural Wages Board which has the power to fix minimum wages, holiday entitlements and other terms and conditions of employment for agricultural workers. Apart from this exception about the wages of agricultural workers, matters relating to wages will fall within the reservation. So, for example, the Scottish Parliament is not able to legislate to set a national minimum wage.
